rpm -ivh file.rpm   This is to install an RPM..

rpm -Uvh file.rpm    This will upgrade and RPM..

rpm -Fvh file.rpm    This will freshen the installed RPM with a newer 
one if availible..

Take note of the case of the options..

You are probably needing -Uvh.. using -Fvh is used when you have a 
directory of RPM's and only want to install the newer versions of 
already installed RPM's..

later..
