I solved my main problem of not finding the files by using different

rpmbuild -bb --buildroot /tmp/rpmash_build wam.spec
"--buildroot" being the significant factor.
My remaining problems are:
1. The build erases the /tmp/rpmash_build tree each time I build the
rpm file.
2. The build places the rpm file where it wants to, and names the rpm
file what it wants to. I would like to specify the location and the name.
I have read the "man rpmbuild" documentation, but I don't see switches
to control these things.

rpmbuild is kicking and screaming back because you're trying to use it
in a way that it's not supposed to be used. The --buildroot option is
something you never need in any remotely normal situation, and that's
kinda where the problems start here (apparent misunderstanding about
what a buildroot is).
Do take the time to walk through some rpmbuild tutorial(s) to build an
understanding on how its supposed to work. Rpm.org has some pointers at
http://rpm.org/wiki/Docs and googling for "rpmbuild tutorial" will turn
out many many more.
