The symptoms that you are getting sound like what I got before when I 
was not down far enough into the  directory tree to get updates that 
were noarch. It worked fine except for noarch rpms. Anyway, just because 
the directory contains  headers directory, it might not be the right 
header directory for proper operation of the system.
If you are running i386, make sure that your entry for the mirror you 
use contains the final directory for your archetecture.

Also, make sure that you have the base repo as well as the updates repo 
listed in yum. You might be installing packages that now need an rpm 
that was not revised since FC was out.
