I don't know what causes your problem, but if you have enough space, you can either copy all packages from CDs to directory and use 'redhat-config-packages --tree=/path/to/packages' command or put the iso images of your RH cdroms into one directory and use 'redhat-config-packages --isodir=/path' command. Also try to verify redhat-config-packages package (rpm -V redhat-config-packages) and reinstall it if needed.
