This is actually unrelated to the module building stuff I did for RH 6.1.  I
think I fixed it.  Try changing the if statement near line 108 in heartbeat.sh. 
Please take careful note of the quoting, since I failed to do that before :-)

  if
    [ "X$WATCHDEV" != X -a ! -c "$WATCHDEV" -a $insmod = yes ]
  then
    minor=`cat /proc/misc | grep watchdog | cut -c1-4`
    mknod -m 600 $WATCHDEV c $MISCDEV $minor
  fi

I guess I still should figure out the module loading for RH 6.1, though...
