Does anyone have any documentation on how to fix a "Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository openswan" error when running the software update tool. I'm running 2.6.24.4 fedora on a x86_64.

I did not realise you were using L2TP, sorry. You do not use a leftsourceip= for l2tp.

One way communication within l2tp is usually caused by

1) the L2TP server hands out a range that is not NATed and goes out to the internet, but
    replies cannot be received
2) the L2TP server is not the default gateway, and is not NATing, so replies never get back
    to it.
3) router or firewall is blocking the l2tp assigned range of addresses

Also check with "ipsec verify" if you see any issues.
