I just noticed the above line doesn't have an -i as well!
try: rpm -ivh --root=${m} *rpm
I've done this at least a couple of times this week and it works using
rpm version 4.4.2
export m=/mnt/mynewsystemroot
echo $m # to check
Then as root:
install -d ${m}/var/lib/rpm
rpm --root=${m} --initdb
rpm -ivh --root=${m} *rpm
and
rpm -qa --root=${m} *rpm
I think this should work.

It installs now but still with some errors I don't like to see
