Missing Automatic Update Icon

I am running Fedora 6, 2.6.22.2-42.fc6. Usually, I run the software updater once a week. So, I have not noticed that that the little reminder is missing. The last two times I have updated (last two weeks), a little notice comes up saying I am not receiving automatic updates and to check my network connections and/or configure software updates.

I have a RHEL 3 and an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS system, and they are receiving automatic update notices. Unless Fedora 6's update daemon is totally different than those, I think I have a configuration problem. yum-updatesd is running.

What should I be checking to see why I am getting this message.

Here's what I could find out about yum-updatesd in the logs

find /var/log -type f -exec grep "yum-updatesd" {} ; -print
yum-updatesd-3.0.6-1.fc6.noarch.rpm
/var/log/rpmpkgs.1
