Scott,

On the geocoding toolbar there is a dropdown menu listing all active address locators.  Whatever locator you are trying to rebuild needs to be removed from that list by selecting manage address locators, then removing the locator from the list in the new window.  Once that is done you should be able to rebuild and you can make the locator active again by going back into that manage menu.

Just a guess, but you may have to either quit ArcMap or ArcCatalog and rebuild in what ever you leave open. To be sure, close everything, open ArcCatalog and rebuild there.
