What version of cobbler are you running? It looks like you're running
2.2.3, which does not have support for fedora 18 in it.

My recommendation is to upgrade to the latest beta version (2.4.0) if
possible and use this command:

cobbler import \
   --name=fedora-18-remote \
   --path=rsync://
mirrors.kernel.org/mirrors/fedora/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/ \
   --available-as=
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/

Or use any fedora mirror you'd like. If you can't upgrade, you're going to
have to manually add the distro and profiles.
