First, do you have the protect=? in the repo entry for dag (or,
preferably, rpmforge that should be used)? IIRC, the docs say that a
protect is needed for all? Protected ones have "1" and unprotected have
0? I don't recall if they said a default was assumed if the protect
statement wqas not found.

There is a thread posted in the last few days complaining that check-
update does not give the same results as a real yum up date run. Maybe
that is your problem here too?
Do yum update and reply 'n' if it is not your problem and the update
won't happen.
