G'day Ichihara san.
Are you using afs? If not, you can remove kernel-module-openafs.

That aside, it seems there's a problem with you list of packages to not 
be updated automatically.

Here is my yum.conf - it's not the standard one - compare mine with 
yours and see what differs.
[root@bobtail ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
exclude=*.i[3-6]86
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=0
plugins=1
metadata_expire=72000

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
[root@bobtail ~]#

I'm running AMD-64 software, and I explicitly exclude i?86 software.

Look for excludes in your repo files too.
