This seems to ring a bell...
RPM Version: 4.8.0
Is your rpm self-built from sources? The bell ringing in my head says there was (and quite probably still is as I dont remember fixing it) a bug in configure/make system of rpm which causes these bogus ${prefix} paths to be present unless you use --localstatedir=/var or such to configure when building it.
