Nope ... didn't update koji!

As I mentioned earlier, it works fine through commandline!

Update: 
I suspect that the issue is related to failed transactions. 
The file /usr/share/koji-hub/kojixmlrpc.py suggests that the
koji.db.connect fails. 
I had been running koji-shadow script and it failed mysteriously. I see
this "ServerOffline: Database outage" message from that point on. I
think the rollback() in koji.db.connect fails due to some not-yet-known
reason. I am looking into it further.
