yum priorities can not overrule hard coded dependencies. yum priorities can decide what to prefer if there were multiple choices. You tried to install a package that explicitly stated Requires: rrdtool = 1.4.5 If the only rrdtool 1.4.5 is in rpmforge, yum priorities cant help you.
Ahh, now it makes sense... Priorities did protect my rrdtool, but it won't "recursively" exclude perl-rrdtool from being updated. I just removed perl-rrdtool since it was apparently not used anymore...
