See page 253 in the datasheet:

"The SPI may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC),
thus the programmer must first configure the PMC to enable the SPI
clock. "

I got it . It is working now. Thanks a lot.

I'm having a similar issue and (believe) I've followed the correct init
steps
After looking through the example and doc at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc6229.pdf
I have:

// Reset the SPI controller
AT91F_SPI_Reset     (AT91C_BASE_SPI);

// Configure PMC by enabling SPI clock
AT91F_SPI_CfgPMC ();

// Setup the SPI Mode Register
AT91F_SPI_CfgMode   (AT91C_BASE_SPI, MASTER | SPI_FIX_SLCT |
SPI_CS_DIRECT |  SPI_MODE_FAULT_DS | SPI_LOCAL_LOOP_DS |
SPI_FIXED_CS_0);

// Setup the SPI Chip Select Register
AT91F_SPI_CfgCs     (AT91C_BASE_SPI, 0, SPI_SCK_IDLE_LOW |
SPI_SCK_SAMPLE_RISING | SPI_CS_LOW_AFTR_TRANS | SPI_8_BITS_PER_TRANS |
(2*SPI_SCK_DIV_FACTOR));

// Setup the SPI Bus Pins
AT91F_SPI_CfgPIO ();

// Enable the SPI Bus
AT91F_SPI_Enable (AT91C_BASE_SPI);

My defines are as follows:

#define SPI_FIX_SLCT            0   //Fixed Peripheral Select
#define SPI_CS_DIRECT      0   //Chip Select is directly connected
#define SPI_MODE_FAULT_DS    0   //Mode Fault Enabled
#define SPI_LOCAL_LOOP_DS    0   //Loop back disabled
#define SPI_FIXED_CS_0      0   //PCS = xxx0
#define SPI_SCK_IDLE_LOW    0   //CS idles low
#define SPI_SCK_SAMPLE_RISING    0   //Data is changed on the leading
edge of SPCK and captured on the following edge of SPCK.

#define SPI_CS_LOW_AFTR_TRANS    0   //The Peripheral Chip Select Line
rises as soon as the last transfer is achieved.

#define SPI_8_BITS_PER_TRANS    0  //8bit transfers
#define SPI_SCK_DIV_FACTOR    0x00003200

This is also on a AT91SAM7S256.

When I send data by writing to the SPI_TDR register the CS line never
goes low.  I checked the status register and it says the SPI bus is
enabled.  Anyone have any thoughts?  Any and all help is appreciated.

in my opinion it should be :

AT91F_SPI_CfgMode   (AT91C_BASE_SPI, AT91C_SPI_MSTR | SPI_FIX_SLCT<<1 |
SPI_CS_DIRECT<<2 | SPI_MODE_FAULT_DS<<4 | SPI_LOCAL_LOOP_DS<<7 |
SPI_FIXED_CS_0<<16 );


Don't forget to use Bitwise Operators !
