Since I've got an EPEL channel with over 5000 packages at the moment
which builds fine I suspect you've just got a "bad" taskomatic job in
the rhnTaskQueue table, which is leading to this "delete with null
entity" error. 

If you stop spacewalk, delete the contents of rhnTaskQueue and start
it up again then you may find that taskomatic starts working again.
