dOh! Sorry, I should have looked closer. Honestly, I always put the
buildroot clean in %build, but I do it like this:
[ -n "%{buildroot}" -a "%{buildroot}" != / ] && rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir -p %{buildroot}
This is a little safer in case someone has a misconfigured
~/.rpmmacros or something.

=) Glad you found the problem... I feel a little embarrased that I
didn't spot it, so don't feel too bad!
