I did that. I think I should expect to see 'picloud' in /usr/bin and the 
man pages in /usr/share/man/man1/ ? I don't see any of after i do mock 
--shell.

 From the build.log, the last few lines are:

+ cp -pr doc README.txt CHANGELOG 
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-picloud-2.4.2-3.fc16.i386/usr/share/doc/python-picloud-2.4.2
+ exit 0
RPM build errors:
     File not found by glob: 
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-picloud-2.4.2-3.fc16.i386/usr/bin/*
Child return code was: 1


So, obviously something is wrong. What else I can look into?

Thanks!
