Anne,

soffice is one of those tricky programs that does different things
depending on how it was called, so if you call it from a symlink named
soffice, it will either open OOo, or set it up if you don't have a
.sversionrc file in your home directory.

In the example above, you set up a link named spadmin that linked to
soffice, but then you ran soffice, instead of spadmin.  That accounts
for getting the OOo setup instead of spadmin.  Also, I think root
needs to run spadmin.
