osa-dispatcher just gives the client systems a kick when there are things to do, starting rhn_check if need be. You can start the osad daemon in the foreground (osad -N -vvvv or similar) then send a ping to the system to see it do its stuff. Very helpful when debugging Jabber connection issues. If osad is not running for whatever reason the clients will still wait until rhnsd checks in and then if there are pending actions rhn_check is invoked. Maybe start both rhnsd and rhn_check in the foreground on a client and watch their debugging output during a "normal" scheduled check in - that might give you a clue why rhn_check is hanging.
