urpmi is just a plain old command, so what the console is running under 
shouldn't matter.

When doing this are you logged in as root (type su then the root 
password) and is file://... pointing to the right directory? If both 
these are OK this is baffling - urpmi.addmedia should work :/

BTW I should've read the original email more carefully - if you're 
installing KDE 3.0.1 on Mandrake 8.0 and/or 8.1 you need to download 
the files from

ftp://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.1/Mandrake/8.0
ftp://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.1/Mandrake/8.1
