It looks like you are using CVS in a SRPM code tree.  I would recommend
keeping CVS checkouts separate from SRPMs.  SRPMs could have patches or
other things to make CVS updates unpredictable.

It looks like you have either have a stale Makefile in your po directory,
or you are missing one or more files in applets/mini-commander/src.

Doesn't look like a gettext problem at all.

I would recommend a fresh checkout of gnome-core from CVS in a different
directory than the one you are using.
