That's the expected behavior.

Which version of CMake/CPack are you using?

Could you show us some if not all your
install(... ) command?
and/or tell us if you use "absolute path" as destination?

What is your linux distribution ?

Can you tell me which version of rpmbuild is installed on your system
using: rpmbuild --version

There is know issue with rpmbuild version 4.6.x and up.
see:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#CPack_RPM_currently_pending_bugs.2Ffeatures

The rpm 4.6.x issue in in CVS HEAD but does not [yet] reached 2.6.x.
