As from reading the man-page for hdiutil, I think, that -library SPUD, actually meant -layout SPUD (at least this option has a SPUD parameter).

So the full command will be:

hdiutil create -size $SIZEg -fs HFS+J -type SPARSEBUNDLE -layout SPUD -volname "Backup of $MACHINENAME" $MACHINENAME_$MACADDRESS.sparsebundle
