Brian,

This is probably a problem with the way that you installed yum.

The easiest way is probably to grab the RPM from
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/yum-2.0.8-1.centos.7.noarch.rpm

and install that.

If you really want a newer version of yum you could try downloading
the srpm for yum and rpmbuild --rebuilding it as that works more
reliably.

Regards,
Greg
