The code here is: idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg) if idx.count() == 0: releasever = '$releasever' else: hdr = idx.next() releasever = hdr['version'] ...so this looks like a weird rpm or rpm-python bug. What versions of rpm are you using?
rpm-4.7.0-1.fc11.i586
My first guess: dont run mock as root (see bug 487430, this is probably a dupe of that)
Running under sudo is not helping either: newman ~ $ sudo mock -r fedora-11-i386 /home/newman/rpmbuild/SRPMS/ncmpcpp-0.3.4-1.fc11.src.rpm INFO: mock.py version 0.9.16 starting...

Dont run under sudo either. Add yourself to "mock" group and run without further gimmicks, that's how it's intended to work. You probably need to clean up various leftover directories/files that now have wrong permissions due to earlier runs as root.
That worked. Thanks.
