They're showing stuff installed twice (likely) because they're 64 bit boxes, and they have the 32 and 64 bit version installed. As to why RHN and your server are not in sync with installed packages, I don't know.

Also what is the best way to clear multiple installations of the same package on a system. I have eight RedHat systems. At least four use "yum update" to update software. On the four systems using "yum update", I have completed all the updates available using this command. However the RedHat web page that shows systems that need updates, three of the systems still need an update of glibc-2.5-34.el5_3.1 glibc-2.5-34 Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1202-1 glibc-common-2.5-34.el5_3.1 glibc-common-2.5-34 Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1202-1 glibc-devel-2.5-34.el5_3.1 glibc-devel-2.5-34 Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1202-1 glibc-headers-2.5-34.el5_3.1 glibc-headers-2.5-34 Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1202-1 nscd-2.5-34.el5_3.1 nscd-2.5-34 Bug Fix Advisory RHBA-2009:1202-1 If I run "yum install glibc-2.5-34.el5_3.1", I get Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments No package glibc-2.5-34.el5_3.1 available.
