I did not find the result file in your attachments. Attached is a
snippet from the end of my "rpm --rebuild", and it shows things being
written to where you expect. Things do *not* get written if there were
errors in the build, and you might be running into that. Sometimes
those errors are hard to see, since rpm continues through that phase
of the build. Look for things like "File missing"...

You might try instead using the RedHat beta rpms from
 ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS

which are based on Lamar Owen's recent spec files.

Good luck.
