damn - why didn't I think of that?
relevant section (I think)...

Looks strange - (I took the liberty of removing some of the line indentations for readability). I would think that the 'release 3' part should succeed.
What's GREP_S being set to elsewhere? Really you could safely just comment out everything from "if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ];" to its corresponding "fi" and just set OS_NOT_CERTIFIED="YES" in there and bypass the rest.
