There are a couple of things that come to mind.
(Not specifically in any order)
1. remove and reinstall up2date
2. remove the entry at redhat and reinstall
3. Try rpm --rebuilddb
4. Are you running this at the main computer or via
a xsession. Double check the setting on the
DISPLAY variable.
5. Run rpm -qa|grep up2date
on the working machines and compare to the one
that isn't working.
