As you stated, the source is called *RC1 not *rc1, so obviously
looking for *rc1 won't find a *RC1 file (or vice versa) no matter what
directory you put it in. I suspect you are using %v in the Source:
field of your .info file. You need to use "whatever upstream calls the
source file" in that field (hardcode the version-string with "RC", for
example) rather than relying on default if default doesn't match.
