Installing a SOURCE RPM (*.src.rpm) won't install the application on your 
system. It will install the source so you can build it yourself (in 
/usr/src/redhat/*).

Either use rpm -ivh up2date-1.0.1-1.{i386,alpha,sparc,ia64,s390}.rpm, or 
do the following after your rpm -ivh up2date-1.0.1-1.src.rpm command:

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpm -ba up2date.spec
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/*/up2date*

Also, you got the usage of rpm -q wrong. It's either

rpm -q up2date

or

rpm -q up2date-1.0.1-1

The file extension is not a part of the package name.
