Get pkgbuild manual from http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/man.php

The copyright file is defined in you spec file.
SUNW_Copyright: %{name}.copyright
To fix this issue. You either remove the aboce line or put the
R.copyright file under your sourcedirs.
Get your sourcedirs by querying
$pkgtool --dumprc|grep sourcedirs

Your way might work. What I usually did is
pkgbuild --short-circuit -bi SUNWxxx.spec
Then goes into /var/tmp/pkgbuild-<your-username>/SUNWxxx-build/ to get
the files list.
I would also recommend you take look at the existing examples in
spec-files, spec-files-other and spec-files-extra.
Have a nice day!
