Are you sure this is the correct directory for CentOS ??
Last time (a long time ago), I looked at CentOS, it used the default
RedHat directory of /usr/src/redhat.
Your using the SLES default parent directory of /usr/src/packages/

You need to use the build date of the tar ball that comes with
mhvtl-1.0-0.src.rpm
For 1.0, this will be 2011-09-04.tgz

Wow, where did the mhvtl-0.16 parent directory come from ?
Not from the mhvtl-1.0 rpms..
This must be a left over directory from a long, long time ago.. Middle
of 2010 was the last 0.16 release.
