Hi Lucia, the (admittedly obscure) reason why the spacing is ignored is that by default vmtk uses the ITK I/O factories to read images, while some of the options are used in case you use -useitk 0 This should fix it.
On the other hand, you can (very elegantly) open the vti file with a text editor, change the spacing and save :-) On my hand, I'll try to come up with a better way of enforcing the spacing even when one uses the default -useitk 1 option.
