It seems rhel-3-updates/java.sun.com was a symlink to the
redhat-9-updates directory, so what I actually had to release was
system.rhlnx.9updates.
I'll fix the symlink situation at some point. Except for the config
directory, release materials should not symlink to older release
materials, for this reason and others.
