I had definitely deleted the whole /var/www/cobbler directory. Is there another place that cobbler keeps any state information about things I've imported?
All of /var/www/cobbler ? If so, that would break everything, there is a /lot/ of content there and it's all important :)
You'd need to reinstall the RPM in that case.
Whoops! OK, I deleted /var/www/cobbler (the whole thing) once again, erased ("rpm -e") the installed cobbler rpm, reinstalled it, and ran the import again. This time I have fewer error messages but it still isn't right:
---------------- (adding distros)
- found content (breed=redhat) at
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot
- warning: skipping import, as distro name already exists: Fedora-10-i386
- found content (breed=redhat) at

- warning: skipping import, as distro name already exists: Fedora-10-i386
---------------- (associating repos) ---------------- (associating kickstarts) ---------------- (syncing)
It's still "skipping import, as distro name already exists". Where is cobbler keeping this information?
Check "cobbler distro list" ... though you've removed the datastore you still have configuration in /var/lib/cobbler that the RPM will not (for general reasons of being a good citizen) not remove when you install the package.
You should remove these with "cobbler distro remove --name=Fedora-10-i386 --recursive" once you have the package reinstalled. Try to avoid editing that configuration directory manually as it leads to some bad/dangerous habits.
