I have a list from yum.log of the rpm files I want to

printing will work again. I tried yum remove but it wants to

The output format from the yum logs are different from the package name
that you need to pass to RPM. The version string should be separated
from the package name by a dash, and the i386 shouldn't be needed
(unless you're running multilib). Your command should be more like:
rpm -e udev-113-8.fc7
That should match the output you would find if you were to query RPM
just by package name and not by package name + version string. On my
machine:
[justin@ra ~]$ rpm -q udev
udev-095-17.fc6
