I'm guessing you have "remember=" set in /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf

pam_cracklib.so will always check for old passwords. If you also have it set 
in pam_pwcheck, pam_cracklib will always flag a password as old, since the 
two modules both use opasswd as storage for old passwords

So try removing remember= from pam_pwcheck.conf
