The above line is key.

It fails because the rpm was built on a Centos 6 machine that uses the newer
rpm format. You can either extract it by using rpm -Uvh --nomd5 and then 
rpmbuild -bs specfile.spec or go get the Centos 5 src.rpm at 
http://yumrepo.tntechs.com/yum-repository/local/centos/tntechs-testing/5/SRPMS/xymon-4.3.4-1.el5.tnt.2.src.rpm

FWIW, I cannot guarantee they will build for you but I can guarantee they built for
me in mock. The only way they will show up on the website is if they build in
mock.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
