This is probably reaching, but there could be differences in the syntax of the kickstart files between versions of RHEL. I found that a kickstart file built for RHEL 3 would fail with RHEL 2.1. It is hard to imagine that there would be significant differences between Update 2 and Update 3, but maybe it would be worth the effort to rebuild your kickstart file with redhat-config-kickstart.
