actually, you don't need to do most of this; you should be using the  
RPMforge.net repo (it's a project run by Dag, Dries, and i believe  
one or two other repository admins):

1) yum install yum-plugin-protectbase

2) add "plugins=1" to /etc/yum.conf

3) add "protect=1" to the "base" and "update" stanzas in /etc/ 
yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

4) download and install the appropriate rpmforge-release package  
(since you seem to be using CentOS4, you want the Red Hat Enterprise  
Linux 4 repo):

http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/

now you have access to all of Dag's packages, plus you can install  
them without worrying that they'll clobber your base packages with  
dependencies.

p.s. the GPG errors are because you haven't installed Dag's GPG key.   
the rpmforge-release package will do this for you.
