No, it's user error.
"rpm -i" takes a FILENAME as argument - this you are doing correctly.
"rpm -e" takes a PACKAGE NAME as argument - you are giving a filename.
You have the packages already installed. To remove them:
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.x86_64

Never use --force or --nodeps unless you *really* know what you're doing.
