The call command in the cli isn't perfect. It's really more of a 
debugging tool. Unfortunately there's no way for it to know whether you 
mean the string "1" or the integer 1. If you're running a sufficiently 
new python, you can use the --python option to have the arguments 
interpreted as python expressions. E.g.

# koji call --python createEmptyBuild '"nvidia"' '"1"' '"1.3"' None

Otherwise you'll need to make the xmlrpc call more directly. Something like:
# python
 >>> import koji
 >>> session = koji.ClientSession('SERVER_URL')
 >>> # if using krb auth, use the following:
 >>> session.krb_login()
 >>> # otherwise use one of the other login methods defined in ClientSession
 >>> session.createEmptyBuild('nvidia', '1', '1.3', None)
