Do you really have original nmap package from fedora? We use /usr/share/nmap instead of /usr/local/share/nmap. Also I tried to reproduce this and it's working for me without any problem. Try to reinstall nmap package "yum reinstall nmap".

What command line options did you use?

BS"D
Yes sure, I did yum erase -y nmap nmap-frontend as root and installed them from new. Maybeit was some old binary from the original version which I had left under /usr/local/bin since the fedora package does not install anything under /usr/local/share/. Now I cleaned /usr/local/ up and reinstalled the packages ... and it works. So blame it all on me. Sorry for bothering.
