Comment 1 John Matthews 2012-02-06 15:19:16 UTC 
Hello,

Looking at the pastebin I see this error:
  OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: \'/var/lib/pulp//packages/mcollective


I see from your paste that the /var/lib/pulp looks to be owned by Apache, yet there still may be some subdirectories under /var/lib/pulp/packages which have different ownership.  
 
Please run:
 chown -R apache:apache /var/lib/pulp

Next question, are you running with SELinux enabled?
If so please run:
 chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/lib/pulp

FYI, on pulp 2.0.6 (current beta) I have /var/lib/pulp as a NFS mount and working fine.
