  I can't help you with the Red Carpet issue, but I may be able to on
the NLSPATH one.
  I also started getting the "No such directory" messages after
updating the glibc packages. In my case, it would display the man
pages correctly, but always insisted on telling me that
NLSPATH=<none>, etc.
  Installing the man-1.5i2-0.7x.5.rpm package from the RedHat Errata
page for
7.0 seems to have fixed it; even if it was a security update for
another issue.
