Well .. that works for me as well, except that rpmdb-redhat doesn't have 
any kernels in it so my previous example doesn't work :) However:

[pmatilai@localhost ~]$ ./pytest.py firefox
firefox-1.0-12.EL4
[pmatilai@localhost ~]$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.0.1-1.4.3

Do you actually have rpmdb-redhat package installed? I'd assume yes but 
sometimes it's oh so easy to miss the most obvious explanation :)
