setting up zenworks as a repository to allow yum or zypper to keep agents and files updated seem a much more efficient and functional method of deploying and keeping the agent updated.

This is explained for redhat here:

The packages are listed here:

having yum or zypper manage the packages decreases the need for zeus.

Also, the binary installer if used should change from rpm to do the install to "yum localinstall" so the rpm database is not altered outside of yum.
