Here's your problem:

Processing files: openssh-server-2.3.0p1-1
File not found: /tmp/openssh-2.3.0p1-buildroot/usr/sbin/sshd
File not found: /tmp/openssh-2.3.0p1-buildroot/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
File not found by glob: /tmp/openssh-2.3.0p1-buildroot/usr/man/man8/sshd.8*
File not found by glob: /tmp/openssh-2.3.0p1-buildroot/usr/man/man8/sftp-server.8*
File not found: /tmp/openssh-2.3.0p1-buildroot/usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config

If you're not already, I'd strongly recomend that you upgrade to RPM
3.0.5, and see if any of these go away.  For some reason, those files
aren't showing up where RPM has been told to expect them, and so RPM is
not writing an RPM.
