[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-channel --list-available issues

[Jon Miller]

Try comparing what system id is listed in your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
file vs. what you see in the spacewalk UI under the Systems and then
clicking on your client machine name. I wonder if the "Spacewalk System ID"
is the same? E.g. My system has "<member> <name>system_id</name>
<value><string>ID-1000010014</string></value> </member>" and within the
Sapcewalk UI, I see my system ID as 1000010014.

If those match, I'd personally try running it with 'strace' and look for
other clues like blatant permission errors but if you're not familiar with
that output, it can be a bit daunting.
