I've always though of it this way:

Records Management is the PRACTICE

Recordkeeping are the various ACTIVITIES that support it


My first exposure to the term "recordkeeping" (especially as one word) was 
in literature from Australia and the European Community... the term wasn't 
widely used in the US.  But I've seen it used more recently than before.

Management is the concept that discusses the value of establisihing 
systems for the keeping of records in some specific manner, it involves 
the establishment of systems necessary to ensure the right records are 
avbailable for the right length of time and they are stored in a usable 
and retrievable manner.

Keeping is the placing of records in a variety of systems to meet the 
requirements established by RM.
