Yes, it does.  Thanks, Tim.

One thing that didn't make sense at first was that the problem only 
occurred for this rpm and not others; all had the %defattr after the 
files.  I eventually realized that I was building on two machines - one 
Fedora Core 4 and the other RHEL4.  The rpmbuild version on FC4 is 4.4.1 
while that on RHEL4 is 4.3.3.  Apparently, in 4.3.3 the %defattr only 
applies to files following the directive while in 4.4.1 it applies to all.

Thanks again,
Dan.
