the tarball generating code tried to be perhaps a bit too smart with all
the fancy tar options, it was also incompatible with RHEL 5 tar. While
making it RHEL 5 compatible, the code leading to the above issue was
changed at the same time (BZ#749518).

Please try mock 1.1.17 from updates-testing, it should work.
