Ok you did replace the CPackRPM.cmake on the remote computer.

I don't know, what is the content of rpmbuild.out file?

Would you be able to

0) ssh to the machine
1) cd /to/the/buildir
2) cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM

and copy the output here.
And send me the buggy generated specs file
should be in .../lnx/_CPack_Packages/Linux/RPM/SPECS.

What kind of linux is the remote system?
   Fedora 9,10,11? Mandriva, Debian etc...

How are you launching your RPM build on the remote SSH.
Do you use the same CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX locally and

Would you be able to run your RPM building on a remotely launched terminal:
i.e.

0) ssh -X login at remote
1) gnome-terminal

work on the locally displayed remote terminal.
