Sles10 zypper can not add repository

Question

I would like to add a new local repository of SLES 10 SP4 on my System. But zypper gives Problems. Here is what I tried so far,

#zypper ar /some/local/dir local {I have copied all the SLES10 RPMs inside this dir} Unknown command 'ar'.

zypper sa /usr/repo/sp4 local URL is invalid. Url scheme is a required component

Is there anything I am missing? Please suggest.

Thanx.

sa -t Plaindir file:///somedir

Thanx anyways.
