Sounds like you're using ReBuM's rpm package -- his webpage's discussion
list should be your first recourse.  However, you should try this:

1) make sure you did 'rpm --initdb' before anything else
2) 'mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix cygdrive'
    (this will force /cygdrive/... stuff to be accessed binmode --
helpful if you happen to have a 'TEMP' variable in your environment set
to something *other* than D:\tmp)
