I ran into the same problems with some of the suse-update-rpm's.

Seems that they use the suse 7+ initscripts in the updates, which use
rc.status, even for older distributions which do not have this file.

Copying the suse 7.0 rc.status-file helped me out - but it is bad that
update rpm's can't be used without copying some files manually from newer
distributions.
