It definitely shouldn't do that. Shooting from the heep ... er ... hip, I'd guess that the cover on the gearmotor has started to come off.
(Am I ever glad that Scott keeps all the posts going back for years. This is from a post I wrote a while ago)
Open the hatch lid and the spare tire cover. You'll see 2 10-mm bolt heads on the rear lip of the opening, just to the right of the center. Right beneath that, you'll see the gearmotor. Remove those 2 bolts and you should be able to move the gearmotor out enough to see what's happening with it. You'll probably find 1 to 3 small, grease-covered bolts fallen down towards the front of the spare tire well and, maybe a gear and some other small parts.
It should be fairly straightforward to put it all back together. You'll probably want to clean the grit and lint off the gear and lube it with sone moly grease before you put it all back together.
If the gear has lost its teeth, then you'll need to do one of 2 things: find a used sunroof motor at a pick-n-pull or go to a Jag dealer and get a replacement gear. Do a search for Jaguar in the "Search the 900 bulletin board" window above and you'll find a couple of postings with the part number.
