Addendum: rather then mucking around in the db, you can tweak the 
build's state by calling createEmptyBuild. So something like this should 
work:

koji call resetBuild foobar-1.0-1
koji call createEmptyBuild foobar 1.0 1 None
# name version release epoch
koji import somedir/*.rpm

again, please be cautious when using the resetBuild call.
