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.
