The 'Version' in your .spec file must match the version of the kernel*.tar.gz in your SOURCES directory, in your case appears to be /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, if you installed the kernel*.src.rpm properly.
In your case, you had:
> Version: 2.4.209custom
> Release: 2
Change this to:
Version: 2.4.20
Release: 209custom
The release should be something "custom". It can be whatever you want, but Red Hat asks that you make it unique, so that it is never confused with an official RH kernel.
