My first guess is that you are running these in two different
environments:

The %pre gets run in the environment of the boot image (whatever its
source its).

The %post, without seeing the relevant lines, is being run in a chroot
environment of your newly installed system.  As such, /root is a
different place than the /root %PRE stashed the files.

You probably want:

%post --nochroot

For this to work.

And in case it is a question (for you or others), you can have
multiple %posts, some chroot and some not.  Just separate what you
need appropriately.
