What version of yum-rhn-plugin do you have?

If it's the one from spacewalk-client repo (i.e. not stock RHEL), does the 
following patch:
    
 http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=commitdiff;h=eaca0f

 a4b2a602d8faea0d0f1848c83574d9865f

resolve the issue for you?

I didn't apply this patch.

Chris
