There's less need these days for explicit Prefix: directives, there
basically just a hint that the package was intended for relocateable
installs.

Meanwhile, all paths are relocateable for any package using
	--relocate oldpath=newpath
You will need to add --badrelocate if the Prefix: hints are not included
in the package. And, as always, rpm does nothing to make file contents
relocateable, that's the packager's responsibility, not rpm's.

Try the --relocate form, as --prefix is the Old Way of specifying relocations,
and does not permit multiple Prefix: hints.

You might also check to see that the tags are actually in the package
by doing
	rpm -qp --qf '[%{prefixes}\n]' <your_package>
