What is in your /boot/grub/grub.conf at the moment?

You might also try copying that file to, eg, /tmp/grub.conf and running
grubby by hand with a test like

export KERNVER=2.6.1234 ; grubby --config-file /tmp/grub.conf
--add-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNVER --initrd=/boot/initrd-$KERNVER.img
--title $KERNVER --set-default=/boot/vmlinuz-$KERNVER --copy-default

This works as expected here and makes a fake entry at the top of
/tmp/grub.conf.  Does it create the template error for you?
