Excellent!  I like to hear that people are going automated regression
builds.  It is an important process step.

This won't help you at all but...  This works for me.  I build my
project using -ta fine.

What does your Source: lines in your spec file look like?

  grep -i ^Source.*: yourfile.spec

I like using the macros and so mine looks like this:

  Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Perhaps your Source: line is not being set correctly in your spec
file?
