[Yum] yum won't update vmware

I am trying to use yum to update the VMware-server package on a CentOS-4 
box (yum-2.4.2-2.centos4).  I am getting the error:
[Errno -1] Package does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.

Error Downloading Packages:
   VMware-server - 1.0.0-27828.i386: failure: 
VMware-server-1.0.0-27828.i386.rpm from vmware: [Errno 256] No more 
mirrors to try.


I have verified that the downloaded file is correct, both with rpm -K 
and my md5sum

The file is quite large (~100Meg) but I don't see why that should be a 
problem.  Updating by hand with rpm works, but defeats the purpose of 
using yum.

I have tried recreating the headers with create-repo and have used yum 
clean all but nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?
