These two lines are not present here. Maybe that have impact?

tar is complaining here, even though it is reading from '-'. Is it repeatable?

Yes, tried it 3 times, same result. I don,t think the "make spec" script is being executed.

Could you try running
/bin/gzip -dc /home/sam/bk/kernel-2.6.8rc2.tar.gz | tar -xf - in an empty directory.
If that fails try:
/bin/gzip -dc /home/sam/bk/kernel-2.6.8rc2.tar.gz eventually redirected to /dev/null

Also try to check the size of the .tar.gz file.
My tar.gz file:

 $ ll  /home/sam/bk/kernel-2.6.8rc2.tar.gz
 -rw-r--r--  1 sam users 153725342 Jul 20 00:17 /home/sam/bk/kernel-2.6.8rc2.tar.gz

If the .tar.gz file is broken try uncomenting the rm from the Makefile and execute rpmbuild manually.

Works fine

It was corrupted and the cause of the error, notice that tar was complaining about 2.6.8-rc1, but I was building 2.6.8-rc2, thats because the kernel.spec file didn't get updated, the " make spec" script didn't get executed after I built 2.6.8-rc1, It will execute if I delete the kernel.spec file and I can successfully build the kernel with "make rpm"
