This points to a problem in
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-rc6-amd64/Makefile

Let my try myself ...

DKMS make.log for nvidia-280.11 for kernel 3.0.0-rc6-amd64 (x86_64)
Mon Jul 25 16:12:20 UTC 2011

I cannot reproduce your problem in a clean environment. Are the
Makefiles in your kernel headers modified in some way?

But rc6 is obsolete anyway.
