I am sure that the coreutils package is installed as there is no error while installing it. I checked for the presence of these commands when I chrooted to /mnt/sysimage and then tried to run grub-install. All i got from grub-install was - "could not find rm....."

-- Ajitabh,
In your %post section, you have these two lines:
# /bin/echo -e "root (hd0,0) \n install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 p
\
(hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf \n quit" | /sbin/grub --batch
You've only commented out the first part of it, not the second. It'd come up with an error 'command not found: hd0,0', or some such.

Comment out that 2nd line, and try it again.

Now, as for 'ls', 'mv' etc. not being mounted when you chroot in emergency mode, is somewhat odd. Are you sure it's not just that /bin/ isn't in the emergency sesions path? You've actually looked in /bin, not found them, double checked to ensure that the 'cureutils' package is installed?
