Darix helped me out on IRC and pointed out that %prefix should not be
used but rather %_prefix. It does indeed fix the problem but it's
strange that using %prefix has worked for me in the past and I still
use it extensively in %files sections. I guess I'll be converting all
those to use %_prefix instead now.

Sorry for the noise all,
