Is there some way to do this through the console? Or does anyone know if there are certain known problematic packages clashing with something in 2010 (at least in regards to the error I've described below)?

Howdy,

While TeX Live 2010 was in final testing it was frozen. That happened in July so there has been a backlog of updates some of which have had clashes with other updates. I'd assume that it will all settle down and we'll be back to a wonderfully stable and up to date distribution but can't say exactly when this will happen.

Good Luck,
