 Then I scp'd it to the problem machine-- again no problem-- and
 successfully installed it there using rpm.

A strong recommendation: rpm -e, then yum localinstall. That way, yum's

It's not necessary.  When I do yum update now (after having installed
five packages using rpm), yum confirms No packages marked for Update.

...which is nice.  :)

yum doesn't have a db of installed packages, it relies on rpm for that.
