ispell-message and ispell-region fail in Emacs with the following

They work for me.

The file, /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/nil.cset, indeed does not exist.
Should it?

No. /usr/lib/aspell-0.60/ contains files *.cset corresponding to valid encodings. The question is why aspell thinks the encoding is "nil". My guess is that something in your initialization files is causing this. Do you still have the problem with 'emacs -Q'?
