I made this documentation that might help, although technically its for Gazebo 1.9 (unreleased) and the new gazebo_ros_pkgs, it is mostly the same for 1.8.6:

Hi dave, I followed your tutorial, but I have a problem. When launching the command (roslaunch baxter_gazebo baxter_world.launch) initializes the gazebo, but it presents the following error: (Warning [parser.cc: 314] parse from urdf.). Using rxgraph can see that SpawnModel does not load, do you know what can be?

First, I believe you are using an older version of Gazebo. How did you install it? You should install it from source, for now, as described in http://gazebosim.org/wiki/Tutorials/1.9/Installing_gazebo_ros_Packages

I reinstalled the Gazebo how describes the link (Compiling From Source / Download via Mercurial - hg clone https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo gazebo and Compile Instructions - http://gazebosim.org/wiki/1.6/install # Compile_Instructions). When the gazebo is booting, he describes the version 1.8.6, is this the correct version?

The Baxter is initialized in Gazebo, but spawn_model node is finished alone and not show in the Rxgraph.

My error: [INFO] [WallTime: 1372335996.309722] [0.189000] Spawn status: SpawnModel: Successfully spawned model [spawn_model-4] process has finished cleanly log file: /home/maciel/.ros/log/cdfa700c-df24-11e2-8d02-000c291d8a96/spawn_model-4*.log

After installing the (gazebo_ros_pkgs) in the directory (~ / catkin_ws / src) and install Gazebo 1.8.6 from source, I need some further configuration to run the spawn_model? My ~/.bashrc: source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash source /home/maciel/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash source /usr/local/share/gazebo/setup.sh

Can you modify your question, above, with the command and launch file you are using to spawn model? Also, can you include a link to your model? Thanks.
