How about asking the difference between the Reports and ReportServer sections of the SSRS site.
Asking what DBs are created by an instance of SSRS, what they do, and which ones should be backed up?
Ask about the common pitfalls when publishing reports.

Is this for interviewing someone that will only do SSRS work, or as part of their larger responsibilities? Are they supposed to be experienced SSRS people?
You could go into installing Report Servers in Farm Mode, you could ask them what tools they need to use or things to consider if they're migrating a Report Server. You could ask what the differences are in terms of services needed between SSRS 2005 and SSRS 2008, to make sure they're staying up to date on developments in the industry. I can't think of any questions that are the right level to show if they now how to actually develop a report, but you could look for a couple of tutorials online and use a couple of the concepts from there. Maybe ask them to whiteboard a report given some general requirements. I always like seeing how interviewees perform when asked to whiteboard during a meeting. Definitely gives you a window into how they'll do if they have to either gather requirements from or train end users.
Hope that helps,
