Problem rebuilding Simons new source RPM

[Harris Landgarten]

I tracked down the cause of the problem but am still looking for the
source.

For some reason perl man pages are being installed to /usr/man instead
of  /usr/shared/man

This causes the find /var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.1.10-root/usr/share/man
-type f -name "Cyrus*" to find nothing and the following string of
commands to fail with an error.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
