However if you want yum to install files found on your machine they have to be in a directory hierarchy that corresposnds to the one laid out in the yum.conf file. Usually to avoid confusion I make the hierarchy the same as that in the repository the files came from.
What do you mean?
tmp$ ls
tmp$ wget ftp://[...]/tidy-0.99.0-0.fdr.2.20040916.2.bu45.3.i386.rpm

Which version of YUM is that? Doesn't look like anything I've seen before....
If you were following the thread earlier, you'd see that it was the version in rawhide (development), which will be included in FC4.
