Hi Clark, I remember this problem a while back although when it  
happened for me, the problem was that mock was not creating the /var/ 
lib/rpm/ directory inside the chroot (actually due to a change in the  
RPM rpm).  This was patched in CVS, although I'm not sure it's been  
pushed out in any updates.  Can you verify that this is trying to  
create files in /var/lib/rpm and not <chroot>/var/lib/rpm?
