no, it's just not finding the target file for some reason. try specifying
the full path to it.
rpm --rebuild /home/jruser/download/pan-0.12.0-1.src.rpm

btw, you shouldn't have to be root to build an RPM. indeed you *shouldn't*
be root when building rpms, because broken RPMs can overwrite your system's
already-installed files, in the course of being built.

rpm -Uvh target-0.1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat
rpm -bb SPECS/target.spec
<wait for it to build>
su 
rpm -Uvh RPMS/i386/target-0.1.i386.rpm
