On one of the servers I'm having trouble with, that patch is already
installed.  I was able to update the server (yum update) only to turn around
literally 2 minutes later to run yum check-update on the exact same box, and
to run into the exact error again...

I had the same problems on all my servers and I updated the yum plugin
to the latest version on rhn.

yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-12.el5_2.9

using
# yum install yum-rhn-plugin -y

On a consistent basis, several RedHat 5 servers produce the following
error
when attempting to update the boxes:
error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

Googling this error, I've tried:
yum clean all
yum clean metadata
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

None of those seem to have any lasting effect.  We have several Centos
servers, none of which have this issue.  Also, our RedHat 4 servers have
no
trouble updating via up2date.  This problem is only effecting RedHat 5
servers.  Is there any real solution to this problem?  Is there anyone
actually affiliated with RedHat that can say this issue is being
addressed?

Obviously not being able to consistently patch servers is a serious
issue.
