Where are you putting that code ? In the "preinstall" section ?
Also instead of the above script, you could just define that dir in the spec file and get the rpm to create it. If its created by another package (rpm -qf /dir), then name that package in the "requires" list in the spec file.

NAME
yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package
SYNOPSIS
yum-builddep package
DESCRIPTION
yum-builddep is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package. The source RPM for the specified package must be
available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file.
EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM:
yum-builddep kernel
FILES
As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5)
http://yum.baseurl.org/
AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
