Perhaps you're interperter is bad?

I'm not sure why you're getting that error if you're root, I use that method quite often.  Oh well, the default shell for the 'admin' account should be /sbin/e-smith/console, so from console just:

su admin


If that fails to load the administrative console you have other problems.

Hope this helped,
Nathan

Yeah, I think your installation is hosed.  Had SME ever been installed on this machine before?

I think you're hosed out the box.  Reinstall, clean.
