Registered smt client gets but zypper lu shows no update(s)

Dear all,

This must be something obvious but I don’t understand why my smt
clients returns no update to zypper lu command.

Code:

#./clientSetup4SMT.sh https://smt_server_fqdn/center/regsvc
Trust and import this key? [y/n] y
Client setup finished.
Start the registration now? [y/n] y

On the SMT client (SLES11-SP1):

Information for package kernel-pae:

Repository: @System
Name: kernel-pae
Version: 2.6.32.12-0.7.1
Arch: i586
Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany
Support Level: unknown
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date
Installed Size: 49.6 MiB
Summary: Kernel with PAE Support
Description:
This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical
Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro
processor.

PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the
“no execute” feature which disables execution of code that is marked as
non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems
that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.

Of course SLES11-SP1-Updates repository has been mirrored recently. Any
idea what could cause this?

Thank you.
