CentOS - Dec 2006 - Dag mirror, yum and repomd.xml!

Hi:
I have a mirror of dag repository
(http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/) in my intranet which is used
by other servers to install/update rpms. I installed on every remote
server the rpmforge rpm, edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo to fit
with my intranet mirror, but when I run yum, I get this error:

#yum -c rpmforge.repo search nagios 
Warning, could not load sqlite, falling back to pickle
Repository rpmforge is listed more than once in the configuration
Searching Packages:

Am I missing some step? What's wrong with my configuration?
