Looks like a problem with the buildgroups file/repo. Check that your
groups repo is OK:

cd /home/source/fedora/development/core/i386/groups
look at minimal.xml to make sure it's OK
make sure you have buildsys-macros-6-2.fc6.noarch.rpm and
buildsys-macros-6-2.fc6.src.rpm in this directory (you can get them from
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/development/i386/)
createrepo -g minimal.xml .

Then try again.
