When I built 2.1 on Ubuntu (7.04) recently (also tried RHEL4 update 42 with 
same results) I had the same problem, the problem was a permissions one - 
when it was trying to build the packages it was switching to a different user 
(one of the kolab ones I think) which didn't have permissions to access/move 
the files it was trying to build.

The error that I was getting was that the rpm was missing - it was missing 
because it was never built as a result of the build failing.

I ended up editing the obmtool script and changing line 372 to read:
BUILDUSER=root

Instead of letting it figure out the user.  Now this is probably not the best 
solution, but I have not had time to go back out and figure out the proper 
solution.

I was root when I started the build and the files that were downloaded were 
all owned by root.

Not sure if that helps at all.
