I actually was lead in this direction by the install forum on Mandrake club.. but they left out the cdrom part.. so it acted liked it worked but there was still nothing listed when I went to install packages. Also urpmi.cfg was still blank.
So I thought to myself, to try sticking a name in..(same location where you wrote cdrom.. I used "Installation\ CD1".. Then just as you did above.. This triggered a full read and added the database files for all the CD's, even the other 5 CD's that are not part of the download package. So I got it but thanks for answer my question.
