Interesting mock :

export
PATH="/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"

normal user:

PATH="/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/mmcgrath/bin"

Not what I'd expected either, it was causing one of my packages to
compile with Mock but not with my normal user :-D
