None of the bit scripts should be run inside the source tree
for the corresponding tool.  So bit_rtems should not be run
from inside the RTEMS source tree.

What directory are you in when you run bit_rtems?  I think there is
a directory structure problem.  The bit_rtems script and supporting
files should be in the same directory as rtems-4.5.0-beta2.  

In this case, the setting for RTEMS in user.cfg is rtems-4.5.0-beta2.

Yes.  It is where all the tailorable information is set.

It could be following a symlink but I do all testing that way.
(rtems-current) is symlinked to whereever. :)
