Print the environment in %post and try a relocated install. You will see
the relocated paths in environment variables like RPM_INSTALL_PREFIXn.

Note carefully that you will need to control for what version of rpm is used
to install with relocations, as there are several versions of rpm with 
broken
--relocate.
