Success!

I put %dump in the spec file, and stared at the output a while. I didn't
see anything like tmpdir, but I did see tmppath, and I finally put it
together that it was using /var/tmp.

I did a ls of /var/tmp, and got a no such file or directory error, so
apparently for some reason /var/tmp didn't exist. A quick mkdir and
retry later, I had a built RPM.

So thanks! :)
