When zlmmirror is used to mirror updates for a distribution to the local zlm server, it creates in a default configuration one single monolithic bundle (SLES10-SP2-Updates-bundle) that contains all updates since the service pack release and it creates a catalog (SLES10-SP2-Updates) as well. Additional it creates for each single small patch a bundle that is a member of that catalog as well.

It seems you have assigned the catalog SLES10-SP2-Updates to this device, which would be correct because a catalog contains just optional software, but you also have the SLES10-SP2-Updates-bundle assigned directly to this device or the folder where this device is in. At that time the bundle becomes a mandatory bundle and the software is installed at the refresh interval.

So search for the bundle SLES10-SP2-Updates-bundle in the zlm web interface and check where it is assigned.
