Here's the process I used:

mv /root/ssl-build /root/ssl-build.bak
rhn-ssl-tool --gen-ca --force --set-country="<country code>"
--set-state="<state>" --set-org="<organisation>"

That wil generate a new CA (it'll ask you for a password to use) and then
spacewalk-hostname-rename will work as expected...

Since this is a new CA you will need to:

rm -rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/*

to make OSAD happy and on each system:

wget http://spacewalk.example.com/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT -O
/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
sed -i s'/oldhostname/newhostname/' /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
