Hmm, that's an error other people on the list reported, but I'd not seen.

I just worked through getting to the stage where the server was happy and was
reporting no errors on startup (by tailing syslog when starting it up), then
setup the client as per the minimal instructions on the spacewalk website.
Once I'd got the correct credential setup clientside all worked fine.
