Yeah, odd. Those look ok.

Neither of those is correct. You want: 
http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/centos/5.0/updates/i386/
or you can put it in there as: 
http://centos-distro.cavecreek.net/centos/$release/updates/$basearch/

Can you try those?

Right. It's just a simple substitution so that the same config file
will work on lots of different machines. :)
