This appears to be where I'm getting into trouble:

[dave@cpe0080c6f8615f SPECS]$ rpm -bp NVIDIA_kernel.spec &> bp.log
[dave@cpe0080c6f8615f SPECS]$ cat bp.log
error: Bad owner/group: /home/dave/rpm/SOURCES/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz

Yes, I can see how this would help narrow it down...

In my case it looks like it dies very early in this step, since there is 
no other information appended to the log besides the error message that 
we've seen before.. if I look in the BUILD tree, there are no files there..
