I don't know of any code within rpmbuild that converts dashes to

Nor can I think of any reason that the conversion would be needed on
a unix-like file system.
Are you building with port(1) or rpmbuild directly? I seem to recall
port(1) undertaking
certain dash-to-underscore conversions.
If you have a reproducer (i.e. a URI to a src.rpm) that reproduces
the problem, I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

Thanks for your help Jeff,
The environment is OSX and rpm is built using the scripts and patches
found here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm50
rpmbuild is called from an ant script, but I've not come across
port(1) before so I'm not sure what that is (and you'd imagine that
Googling for 'port' doesn't help me :-)
I'll reproduce the entire SPEC for you inline. It is pretty simple,
although I'm not sure if we are doing the right thing. It is meant to
be a binary only rpm since we the ant script has already built the
appropriate jars. Really it is very simple: put startup script in the
right place, put jar in the right place and create a couple of
folders. rpm is overkill but I thought it might be a convenient
packaging tool. It really is quite complicated to do simple things
though (compared to what I know well which is the FreeBSD ports/
packaging system). But that might be my inexperience with it and the
lack of documentation about use cases which aren't ./configure && make
style installs.
The ant target used is fairly understandable even if you haven't used
ant much:
<rpm rpmBuildCommand="/opt/local/bin/rpmbuild"
specFile="onCourseServer.spec" topDir="${distribution.dir}/rpm"
failOnError="true" command="-bb"/>
