The problem is also documented in the wiki:

https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients

Where CentOS 5 clients use the old yum_rhn_plugin package, isn't it 
better to use the rpm's from the spacewalk repo instead of :

wget -r http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lrsmith/Spacewalk/rpms/
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
or
rpm -ivh 
http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/spacewalk-client-tools-0.0-1.noarch.rpm
yum install rhn-setup
