Have you placed pin1=<something>, pin2=<something>, pin3=<something>
attributes on the pins? The numbers after the pin are mandatory they
indicate the order for placement in the netlist (x=1,y=2,z=3), the text
after the = symbol is not used for spice netlisting. 

Take for an example a look at one of the transistor symbols e.g.
gEDA/sym/analog/npn-2.sym.
