    #!/bin/bash
    if [ $USER != 'root' ]
    then
    echo "REQUIRES ROOT"
    exit 0

Answer 1

You aren't using the appropriate if constructs (you're closing them too early). Here's what you're doing:

if {tests}
then
{code}
fi                     <== Problem #1
else if {more tests}   <== Problem #2
{code}
fi

And here's what it should be:

if {tests}
then
{code}
elif {more tests}
{code}
fi

In other words, there should only be one fi for a whole if block (this includes the else clauses). Note that you should also be using elif instead of else if.

You can read more about if statements in the Bash Guide for Beginners.

Update: So here's a modification of your block that should (hopefully) work. Note that I've also simplified your test blocks, which had some unnecessary square brackets in them.

if [[ "$VERSION" = "5" && "$ARCH" = "32" ]]
then
    wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
elif [[ "$VERSION" = "5" && "$ARCH" = "64" ]]
then
    wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
elif [[ "$VERSION" = "6" && "$ARCH" = "32" ]]
then
    wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm
