%setup assumes that tar xf <you source file> will create the folder 
%{name}-%{version}, which apparently is not what is packaged inside your tarball
(this can happen).

You have two choices:
use %setup -n <the real folder name>
or repackage the tarball with the folder name adjusted. (first option is 
obviously easier).

Hope this helps you get on track here,
Dominique
