How are you downloading the rpm files?  I have seen issues when 
downloading  in windows, and transfering to Linux (that's probably how 
you got the [] in the filename)..

Try running this to see if the downloaded files are valid:

#rpm --checksig <filename.rpm>

If you don't have the gpg key imported, you will have to do so first:

#rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY

If the checksig reports NOT OK, then try installing the rpms directly 
from the RedHat box:

#rpm -Uvh ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/up2date*

That should eliminate any file transfer problems.

If checksig reports OK, then there may be another problem.
