OK, try replacing that with this /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0

Then try "yum --enablerepo=dag update" and see how many "FC3" packages
you're left with afterwards.
