I had this error, too. But I have an own "language" (--lang).
I got it working with this symlinks:

nroff.amf -> /usr/lib64/aspell-0.60/nroff.amf
standard.kbd -> /usr/lib64/aspell-0.60/standard.kbd

Maybe nroff.amf is missing?

You can debug aspell by calling it with strace, and then 
search for "open". You see which files aspell tried to open.
