Some older systemtap versions lack the "syscall.vmsplice" alias.
I'm sorry I didn't check, but the one in fedora7 (0.5.13-1.fc7)
misses it too. If you add the following clause to your script,
(and if other prerequisites are present), it should work:

probe syscall.vmsplice = kernel.function("sys_vmsplice") ? {
        name = "vmsplice"
        argstr = sprintf("%d, %p, %d, 0x%x", $fd, $iov, $nr_segs, $flags)
}
