> I guess I am confused why you have to specify a local path. When I tried it this it still seems to need the local path. I get that it will use the "available-as" path when your node is being built. I do not get why it still needs the local path. Is this so it can grab the pxe images? If that is the case, would it be better to add the distro and profile manually (not through the import command) so I only need to copy the pxe images to the cobbler server?

Yes. The local path is for the kernel and initrd for pxe. 

Very little is actually on the cobbler server.
