I didn't see INCLUDE(CPack) in your CMakeLists.txt, I must be there
in order to make CPack work.

You should INCLUDE(CPack) after your have defined you own
CPACK_xxxx vars.

You are trying to use UseRPMTools.cmake instead of the builtin
CMake/CPack  2.6 RPM support, see:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29

> What am I missing here ?

With CPack 2.6 you should be able to do:

cd /to/build_dir
cpack -G RPM

or you may set
SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "TGZ;ZIP;RPM")

or any list of appropriate CPack generator you want to use when launching

make package.
