I'm new here, and am trying to install ovirt-engine, as documented on

RPM-based distributions (RHEL, Centos, Scientific Linux) for quite a
while, but have never worked with Fedora.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or failing to do:

I am trying to install ovirt-engine on a newly-built Scientific Linux
6.1 (just like RHEL 6.1) machine. I did the "wget
...ovirt-engine.repo", and removed the classpathx-jaf RPM.

Then I tried to "yum install ovirt-engine", and got a number of errors:

I'm suppose this means that I need newer versions of some packages
that are installed now, and these are not available in a yum repo that
my yum can see. The only change to the installed yum environment I
have made is to add the ovirt-engine repo. I don't see anything in the
docs about pointing to some Fedora repo, or some such thing, but
perhaps that's what I need to do.

Can someone please enlighten me?

The problem is that you are installing fedora packages into SL.  They were really built for Fedora.  They may actually work, but I believe that their are some packages missing from base repos for RHEL, SL, and CentOS.  On RHEL, you would get those packages when you added RHEV.  I don't think they exist for SL or CentOS.  Look through the January messages on this board.  SOmeone was doing the install on one of the EL clones and you may find more info there.  Otherwise you could try using Fedora.
