I'm in the same situation.  I tried "remove -force" and then "install":

$ tlmgr --repo http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
remove --force fontspec
tlmgr: fontspec is needed by collection-xetex unicode-math
tlmgr: removing it anyway, due to --force
remove fontspec
tlmgr: actually removed these packages: fontspec
tlmgr: package log updated at /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log
running mktexlsr ...
done running mktexlsr.
wendigo:fontspec gwhite$ tlmgr --repo
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet install
fontspec
tlmgr: package repository http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
[1/1, ??:??/??:??] install: fontspec [2763k]
tlmgr: package log updated at /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log
running mktexlsr ...
done running mktexlsr.

and still have 0.2b files with the databse showing 0.2c.
