Could you try installing this?:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/16/i386/repoview/planetccrma-rt-permissions-all.html

   "yum install planetccrma-rt-permissions-all"

The required priority for the rt patched kernels is greater than the 
default rt scheduling priority that the normal jack and kernel allows 
and that is why it fails for you.

You will need to logout and login again after installing the package.
Hope it helps...
