Things to check:
Examine contents of /var/tmp/rhythmbox-0.6.0-root/usr/share/locale/
and /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/rhythmbox-0.6.0/rhythmbox.lang.  They should 
not be empty.  However, /var/tmp/rhythmbox-0.6.0-root/usr/share/locale/ 
is removed when the RPM is built sucessfully.

Are you using 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/rhythmbox/0.6/rhythmbox-0.6.0.tar.gz 
and the .spec file from it?

Check the version of rpm-build
% rpm -q rpm-build
rpm-build-4.2-0.69

Works fine for me.
