Good news for you -- you should no longer be required to deal with this 
drivel in FC3.  It's a known issue, and my understanding that FC3's rpm uses 
the internal glob() function, instead of glibc's which breaks rpm.

I rebuilt rpm for FC2, using the internal glob() func, and this fixed the 
problem.

I think this should really be an errata for rpm for FC2.  Even if it's only 
the same version of rpm as released with FC2, but with the configure option 
to enable the internal glob().
