Our solution was to create a separate yum repository in the %post section of the kickstart and then use yum to install the extra software (though we use nfs to do it).  You could write the script(s) to do all of this, put it on the web server and then use a wget <script> in the post section and then call the script after that.  

zgrep will let you look in gzipped files.  I also would have run the createrepo with the failing aztek group name through strace to see which files it was opening when it spit out the failure.
