Two things: a) if you run this with set -x does it appear to interpolate all of your variables correctly?; and, b) if it does, and you take this same interpolated find query and run it manually, does it work then?

I also notice the extra ;-char at the end of the find query. Why do you need to include this? The find shouldn't need additional prompting.

find-repos-of-install

find-repos-of-install(1)												  find-repos-of-install(1)

NAME

       find-repos-of-install - report which Yum repository a package was installed from

SYNOPSIS

       find-repos-of-install [options] package1 [package2...]

DESCRIPTION

       find-repos-of-install is a program which reports the Yum repository that a specified package was installed from.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Report program version and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message, and then quit.

       --repoid=REPOID
	      Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled).

       --enablerepo=ENABLEREPOS
	      In  addition  to	the  default set, query the given additional repository, even if it is disabled in YUM configuration.  Can be used
	      multiple times.

       --disablerepo=DISABLEREPOS
	      Do not query the given repository, even if it is enabled in YUM configuration.  Can be used multiple times.

       --repofrompath=REPOID,PATH/URL
	      Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add to the repositories for this query. This option can be used
	      multiple	times. If you want to view only the pkgs from this repository combine this with --repoid. The repoid for the repository is
	      specified by REPOID.

       -C, --cache
	      Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not download any metadata or update the cache. Queries in this mode  can  fail
	      or give partial/incorrect results if the cache isn't fully populated beforehand with eg "yum makecache".

       --tempcache
	      Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.

       --sync2yumdb
	      Sync anything that is found to the yumdb, if available.
