To create a spell file that is compatible with all clients, you just need to import the spells into the spells_new table and then export it using the scripts that are included (the ones AndMetal created). That will make a spell file that has all of the fields to work with SoF, but since the spell files are backwards compatible, it would work for all previous clients as well.
I wasn't aware of the odd mana use bug, but I am sure it is something that can be fixed. Sometime in the next few months, I am planning to level up a 2 or 3 box group using SoF only and hopefully I can identify and correct most of the remaining minor issues with the SoF client.
As for certain races showing up as humans in zones like Freeport and a few others, you should be able to just fine the _chr.txt file from a Titanium install for that zone and use it to replace the file in the SoF folder. So, for example, you would fine the freportw_chr.txt file in the Titanium install folder and just copy it and paste it into your SoF folder. That should resolve the race issues for that zone.
