this is failing while trying to import the pickled RHN/up2date
authentication data, which means its probably corrupt somehow (might fsck
your drive at some point).  The file its trying to read is:
/var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl

I'd make a copy of the file as a backup, remove the file, remove your
system from RHN, and then re-register to RHN.

(if you use a satellite server, replace "RHN" with "your satellite" in the
steps)

let us know if that works
