Did you reboot after running the fixit and before attempting the updates?
Exactly which updates are failing?

That only tells me that something is failing - please look in the Update History and list ALL the updates which are failing, currently.

The lack of an update history is usually caused by having cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder - it should have been rebuilt by the system on the reboot and partially-populated by the next attempt to install updates.
Please reboot, and do another manual Check for Updates., - what updates are listed?
Attempt to install them - what happens, and do they appear in the history either as failed or successful?
