I know you've already tried it, but when you do a rpm --rebuilddb what
are the results?  No output?  rpm --initdb?  Nothing?  Backup those
/var/lib/rpm files first.

Is this a brand spanking new install of RH 7.0?  Box set or downloaded
iso?  Was it an internet server for a while?  Was it used unprotected on
a cablemodem for a while?  What's 'ps -ax' show?  What's the history of
this machine/install?
