You need to disable all repos that are for i386 only. See below.

That's something different. The first command asks for a file and the
second for a provides, so you're comparing apples and oranges.

$ uname -m; rpm -q --provides sysfsutils | grep libsysfs.so
i686
libsysfs.so.1  
$ uname -m; rpm -q --provides sysfsutils | grep libsysfs.so
x86_64
libsysfs.so.1()(64bit) 

So to recap: You added a i386 repo to and x86_64 multilib system w/o
adding all the repos it requires. If you would add (don't!) core-i386
to the smart config, smart would be able to resolve it.

But adding both distributions (i386 and x86_64) to the config is
wrong. multilib repos by Red Hat/Fedora Core are supposed to have the
required 32 bit packages in the x86_64 repo, just like the base and
updates repo from the vendor do. E.g. you never use base/updates from
the i386 repo.
