im just using the default /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file with up2date
i didnt add or remove any mirrors in the file
i could add another mirror to the file and fix it how you did yours....
could i also install the previous version of up2date so i can recieve updates till this version gets fixed
that would not cause any problems would it?

A solution I'm now advicing to my users is to switch to the apt back-end by using:
apt dag http://apt.sw.be redhat/el3/en/i386 dag
instead of
yum dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el3/en/i386/dag
As explained in the Red Hat bugzilla report:

Dag,
Do you know if it's possible to setup an apt repository without having the SRPMS available?
As I collect packages I want to toss them in an area where I can share with others here in the office. However, some people seem to think a graphical package browsing system is necessary.

You don't need the SRPMS.

If you want to maintain a local repository to share locally (like in an office or a classroom), please look at Yam. I'm a few hours away from making a new release and need people to test :)
Go to:
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/
Download the latest Yam (to be released as 0.5) using:
svn co http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/tools/yam/
And look at the example configfile and documentation.
You can mirror repositories and add your own custom packages and let Yam build repositories and merge all that to ease installation.
If you need a graphical frontend to browse these packages, take a look at synaptic (apt-based) or yumgui (yum-based).
If you have problems with Yam, please let me know, I can help you out and refine the documentation.

As Seth kindly pointed out and as mentioned in the bugzilla entry, RHEL3 U3 will have this fixed !
