Thank you for reporting this!  The issues are now fixed in master.

The command-line interface of "xorn netlist" is different from gnetlist in 
that it doesn't execute the configuration files and doesn't assume any 
default directories.  If you'd like to invoke the netlister directly, 
bypassing the Scheme wrapper, you'll have to specify all symbol 
directories and other configuration options you need on the command line:

     xorn netlist --symbol-library-search=/usr/share/gEDA/sym \
         -g spice_sdb -o sim.net sim.sch

Please note that if you don't use the Scheme wrapper, the Python backends 
are used by default.  The Python equivalent to the Scheme backend 
`spice-sdb' is called `spice_sdb' (with an underscore) and treats slotted 
parts as one package (as opposed to the Scheme backend which treats them 
as multiple packages; this should be fixed in the future).
