Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) when creating clone channel

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

When cloning Parent channel all seams to be fine excepted that the  directory /var/cache/rhn/repodata/chrtest-rhel-x86_64-server-5 that contains only filelists.xml.gz.new  other.xml.gz.new  primary.xml.gz.new, so when you try to update a client from the cloned channel, you get the following errors:

# yum list
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: chrtest-rhel-x86_64-server-5.
Please verify its path and try again
