Here's the last /etc/yum.conf I used with FC1, which I modified for the 
cache directory and the mirror I used:
[main]
cachedir=/opt/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/opt/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os

[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch

Do you have an exclude= line that could be mucking things up?

Any clues provided by the yum.log?

HTH,
Tim
