Specifically, does the user who created the directory have > eXecute permision on the directory? Yup, perms are 755, as expected based on the earlier umask command in the script. The owner/group is the build user/group raman/raman (the build user/group). After the rpmbuild command bombs out, I have no problems manually cd'ing into the directory. Also, the rpmbuild works correctly if I modify the spec file and prepend a `pwd`/ to the directory, which indicates that the user does indeed have execute perms, but for some reason the cd only works if the full path is provided.
