Tim,

I've traced the problem, partially.  In int/sman/sman.c, I did the following:
======================================================
  if (ptyopen(&ptcNum, &ptsNum, ptcPath, ptsPath) == -1) {
    perror("start_the_Axiom: ptyopen failed");
    exit(-1);
  }
  fprintf(stderr, "\n-----  K.O. : ptsPath = '%s'\n", ptsPath);
  fix_env(envp, server_num);
  fork_Axiom();
  close(ptsNum);
======================================================

I get the output


======================================================

bash-2.05$ sman -debug
  sman -clef -gr -nonag -ht -noiw -ihere -ihere -ws '$AXIOM/bin/AXIOMsys' 
-grprog '$AXIOM/lib/viewman' -nagprog '$AXIOM/lib/nagman' -htprog 
'$AXIOM/bin/hypertex -s' -clefprog '' -sessionprog '$AXIOM/lib/session' 
-clientprog '$AXIOM/lib/spadclient'
sman:process_arguments exit
sman:process_options exit

-----  K.O. : ptsPath = ''

fork_Axiom: Failed to reopen server: No such file or directory
sman:start_the_local_spadclient: $AXIOM/bin/clef -f $AXIOM/lib/command.list -e  
 $AXIOM/lib/spadclient
clef trying to get the initial terminal settings: Invalid argument
bash-2.05$
======================================================


So the empty ptsPath causes the "Failed to reopen server: No such file or 
directory"
I also tried running "sman -debug" as root.  Same result.
