The TE rules only describes the ways to transition to the samhain_t
domain, but the role also has to be allowed to exist in the samhain_t
domain.  Adding this will probably fix it:

role sysadm_r types samhain_t;

I'm not sure why this type of problem doesn't generate any messages. 
BTW, this type of question goes better on the hardened ml.
