[Spacewalk-list] Clients not picking up requested changes, period

I'm checking pending events using the web interface (URL
/rhn/systems/details/history/Pending.do?sid=1000010296) and it shows 2
pending events: and Hardware Refresh and an Errata Update.

The sid seams to be correct with the server I'm running my commands:

# grep 1000010296 /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
<value><string>ID-1000010296</string></value>

Is there a way to check for pending events using the API?
