Looks like you are missing the file attribute files which are normally
located in /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/. They decide what type files have and
what generator script to run on them.

Also note that some of the scriptlets that are used in RHEL are in the
redhat-rpm-config package (or even some other packages)

E.g. on my local Fedora box:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/* | sort -ugstreamer1-1.4.5-1.fc21.x86_64
javapackages-tools-4.1.0-8.fc21.noarch
kde-settings-21-3.fc21.noarch
perl-generators-1.03-1.fc21.noarch
python3-cups-1.9.70-3.fc21.x86_64
redhat-rpm-config-27-1.fc21.noarch
rpm-4.12.0.1-6.fc21.x86_64
rpm-build-4.12.0.1-6.fc21.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.13.fc21.noarch

rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/* | sort -u
gstreamer1-1.4.5-1.fc21.x86_64
javapackages-tools-4.1.0-8.fc21.noarch
kde-settings-21-3.fc21.noarch
perl-generators-1.03-1.fc21.noarch
python3-cups-1.9.70-3.fc21.x86_64
redhat-rpm-config-27-1.fc21.noarch
rpm-build-4.12.0.1-6.fc21.x86_64
