I don't know if there is a problem with the libxml* rpms or what but I 
could not use yum to update teh libxml stuff either.  This was on two 
machines.  I ended up having to manually download the rpms and update 
them manually.

This is one problem that I found with yum in that if there is a 
problem with one package, yum update dies.  On two occasions it died 
and said a package was updated but wasn't.  On two different machines.

I don't have my notes here about which particular package it was.
