Just curious, an uninstall/reinstall of the webmin rpm didn't help?  I 
didn't see this exact problem, but I had trouble with 2 out of 4 servers 
when I updated to webmin 1.130 using the internal webmin updating, 
recently.  I dinked with it for a few minutes, then, and this depends on 
how complex you have your webmin setup, I just stopped webmin, rpm -e 
webmin, rm -rf the /etc/webmin directory. Then I just downloaded the 
webmin-1.130.tar.gz, and did a fresh install from that directory. 
Webmin doesn't end up in the rpm database this way, but it's worked for 
me everytime when I've had trouble with webmin. And this way, webmin 
just has files at /etc/webmin and /usr/local/webmin-1.1xx.
