This will cause rpm to happily move on no matter what the error, which
isn't the intended behaviour.
'find' will fail on access violations only, which will work properly in
case rpm administration has been delegated (to wheel, for instance).
The neater fix follows.

PS.
I don't know this .spec (or even the rpm program's man page) by heart.
There might be a better / easier / neater fix available.
