I have also had a problem recently with rhn-register, on a new install of Redhat 7.1, I believe that the problem in my case (I can't remember if it is the exact same, but I seem to remember it being very similar) was an incorrect date/time on the box. Additionally, you may find that up2date + rhn-register may not work without being significantly updated anyway, (and about 12 other dependencies besides). YMMV
After a few alternative approaches to updating the system (eg: downloading updated up2date rpm's + dependencies) I gave up (it was only installed that day so nothing to loose) and am today downloading/installing gentoo (www.gentoo.org) (over a modem, should be interesting...)
