Thanks! That was indeed the problem. I now have my rsnapshot package
installed under CentOS 5.
There is a perl script in the rsnapshot doc directory that uses perl DBI
and XML modules. Some searching suggests that under Fedora it is
forbidden to generate requires/provides based on the contents of
%{_docdir}. Apparently that does not apply to CentOS 5 or 6, because
packages built there pull in DBI and XML perl dependencies. I don't
have a CentOS 7 machine, so I'm not sure about that environment.

Regarding the Lchown module that Dale mentioned, yes, that is also
dependency. I back ported a recent Fedora release of that package in
order to get it.
Also, I generally follow Ali's advice and avoid installing anything
beyond CentOS and epel packages.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
