In my spec file, in the %post section, I'm trying to change the permissions of some of the files that the rpm installs: %post chmod +x /sbin/my_file
Why would you want to do something like that? If you did manage to do it you
would then have an installed rpm which would fail to verify. Why not set the permissions of the installed files correctly in the %files section using the %attr directives - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch09s05.html alternatively make sure the file is executable within the install section and this should be carried across (other than overrides done by %attr or %defattr) when the files are packaged.
