Okay. Give some more details.

  yum list cups fedora-release

  yum repolist

  cat /var/cache/yum/updates/mirrorlist.txt 

Note that you need to run "yum clean metadata" as root.
It still looks like you have a Fedora 8 updates repository
enabled somewhere in /etc/yum*

You don't see the 1.3.7-2.fc9 update yet, which is an indication
that the Fedora 9 updates repository is missing.
