I can confirm this bug on mine as well. Exact same conditions, exact same results.

If you have the new up2date code (version 2.4) and are getting the "invalid release/arch" message, what version of the release are you running (one of the betas??) The default site for up2date (www.rhns.redhat.com) does not have any knowledge of the betas, and I bet that you are pointing up2date at those sites and it is telling you that it has no clue what version of Red Hat Linux you are running. If you are indeed running one of the betas, then run 'up2date --config --nox' and make sure that serverURL goes to 'https://beta.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC' and that should fix up the problem.
