Looks like RH forgot to publish an i386 version of the updated samba
package for x86_64. I don't remember what exactly (if anything) requires 
the i386 version on x86_64 but it's there and gets installed by default 
from "Compatibility Arch Support" section. So up2date tries to update the 
x86_64 version of samba packages which would pull in samba-common 3.0.6 
which in turn would break the i386 version's dependencies.

They're not really two copies, the other one is built for i386 and the 
other for x86_64 (you can check with 
'rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{arch}\n |grep samba')
To remove such "duplicates" you can append the architecture to rpm 
commands, eg to remove i386 version of samba you'd use 'rpm -e samba.i386'
The real fix however is for RH to push the updated i386 samba package for 
x86_64 as well. Or you can point up2date to the i386 update repository 
in addition to the x86_64 repo as a workaround.
