Hi :) 
Do we know if this problem has been solved yet?  Has the OP been in contact? 
Regards from 
Tom :)  

This problem hasn't been solved, but I did find a work-around.  The problem I 
was trying to address with spadmin was to change the default printing language 
from pdf to postscript.  I didn't think reading the man page was going to 
solve my problem, so I didn't persue that possibility.  Instead, I have just 
created templates with the postcript as the default.  That seems to work.
It would be nice to know why spadmin doesn't run, however.
