Works here:
 <Europe/Rome> Europe/Rome 
The kind of error you get indicates that there is one extra element in the 
argument list of choice, or one element missing. Maybe one or more quotes are 
wrong. A variant of the lines above that also works is:

	CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_TZ=`grep -v "^#" /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | \
	while read a a tz desc ; do echo $tz $tz ; done | sort`

	choice ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC_TIMEZONE Factory Factory "Factory Setting" 
$CFGTEMP_PKG_GLIBC_TZ
		
Note the CFGTEMP part is split on two lines and the choice part is on one 
line. Btw. using whitespace in description texts is possible with proper 
quotes (contrary to what I said earlier).
