alert icon applet finds more updates than up2date

How is this possible?

My alert icon finds more updates than the up2date application finds.
Currently, transcode and libquicktime should be upgradable according to the
icon applet, but up2date does not find them in any of the repos in my
sources file (see below). I have to ignore these packages for the icon to
return to blue.

kind regards
Andre

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into
### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos, 
### and "dir" repos


### format is one repo entry per line, # starts comments, the
### first word on each line is the type of repo. 
 

### the defalt rhn (using "default" as the url means 
### use the one in the up2date config file
#up2date default

### When a channel-label is required for the non up2date repo's,
### the label is soley used as an internal identifier and is not
### based on the url or any other info from the repo. 

### an apt style repo, this time arjanv's 2.6 kernel repo
### format is:
### type  channel-label      service:server	    path        repo name

#apt arjan-2.6-kernel-i386 http://people.redhat.com ~arjanv/2.5/ kernel

### Note that for apt repos, there can be multiple repo names specificed
### space seperated. 

### an yum style repo 
### format:
### type  channel-label     url 

yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum updates-released
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
#yum updates-testing
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1

### an local directory full of packages
### format
#dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/


# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used.
Depenencies
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.
