In the past, booting from a rescue CD I have used:
# rpm --rebuilddb --root /mnt/linux/

If you point root to the correct spot, it assumes the rpm db will be at 
var/lib/rpm within the --root.

[are you root ? tried with selinux from the rescue system disabled ?]
 From the rescue system:
rpm -Va --root /mnt/linux/ rpm\* glib\*
might give further hints.
