You're bypassing the buildroot.  Modern RPM really really wants you to
do buildroot packaging -- instead of dumping files into their final
location in the %install section, you install them into a temporary spot
for packaging (/var/tmp/<your-package-name-here> is common).

Read up on BuildRoot installs in Maximum RPM and elsewhere.
