On my RHEL5 system, registered to RHN ( And running as root ) :

# yum grouplist
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories

If there is _no_ output we have something wrong with yum. Run with
increased debuging:

yum -d10 grouplist


Also is yum working at all?

yum list installed
