Try using rpm2cpio

ie.
rpm2cpio ./package.rpm -i

This will unpack all files in RPM into path relative to your location.
So if you were in /root/package and ran the command there, all files, that 
would normaly be placed in /usr/local/bin would end up in 
/root/package/usr/local/bin, but only if such a dir is present ;) So if 
you want to extract a specific file from RPM package, just create the dir, 
where it should be extracted to in the dir you are working in and run 
rpm2cpio ./package.rpm -i

It should work ;)
