I don't understand what the problem is.

 

The problem is that I add the permission '- -essentials.setspawn' in the Moderator and Admin group so they cant setspawn, but it doesnt work.

 

there are multiple plugins that can handle that. Make sure bukkit's is disabled too. I think it has one as well.

 

How do I fix this problem ?

 

The Moderator group shouldn't have access to setspawn as long as they aren't OPs. If they are, then deop them. As for the Admin group, the negated node has to be above the node that gives them the permission so it should be:

Code:

        permissions:
        - -essentials.setspawn
        - '*'

 

So I just need to put the '- -essentials.setspawn' on top of the '*' ?
