Hi Andre,
Thanks for looking at it...

I saw the problem on the latest version available in epel testing so not sure it is fixed yet as is mentioned in the issue tracker.

I don't think cobbler was clear enough about internal failure for this particular bug so this might be worthwhile looking at that in addition to fixing the bug. 

Regards
