Let me see if I get the situation correct.

When you built your own kernel with the '_test' added, rebuilding the
srpm should have produced:

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm

among other things.  You need to install the kernel-devel rpm as well.
 That should give you the correct symlink in the /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/ directory.

The BUILD directory you are referring to is where the rebuilding takes
place.  It is supposed to have the linux-2.6.18.i686 directory.
