I'd check all the usual places for logs like /var/log/up2date, 
/var/log/messages, etc. 

If you're not updating, does the system operate as expected? 

Likewise, have you attempted to just download the packages instead of 
downloading and installing?  From the command line do this as root: 

# up2date -nox -download
Unless you've specified another download directory the files should be 
downloaded to /var/spool/up2date.
