OOooooh! Heap bad mojo!  Either the scripts are trying to do stuff they
don't have permissions to do (unlikely), or MediaOne's DHCP server is
royally confused.

Have you checked the support page to see if there are any reported
problems in your area?

In the meantime, I would at lease up the verbosity of the dhcp client and
chuck the output into a separate file.  It shouldn't even be trying to
renew very often (I think it's every 60 hours or something like that).
