I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Chris for noticing the error and bringing it to our attention. The feedback from the SL community is one of the things I love about this project! Basically, it is a documentation issue. The rpm does what is expected to /etc/sysconfig/init, the doc just describes it wrongly. I'll get it fixed in the next wave of release notes.

I had to do an upgrade, not an update to get the new version. yum --releasever=6x upgrade

Re: Scientific Linux 6.3 i386/x86_64 is now available
Your update command was wrong. Fix 63 to 6.3. Therefore, it should be: yum --releasever=6.3 update#there is a dot(.) between the 6 and 3.

Release Notes for Scientific Linux 6.3
-
I've done quite a few updates from 6.0 to 6.1 and 6.1 to 6.2. Just
tried it on a 6.2 system and it's complaining about packages already
installed. Should this be possible or will I need to do full blown
re-installs?
This was a script I used for 6.1 to 6.2 updates.

I use a local mirror and some automounts which is why I manually updated
autofs.
