SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production on Sun Dec 19 10:38:23 2010
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All Rights Reserved.
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production

Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
    -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
                   usage help.
    -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
  <option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
    -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
                   version specified by <version>.  The version has
                   the form "x.y[.z]".  For example, -C 10.2.0
    -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
                   reprompting on error.
    -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output.  The options
                   have the form:
                   HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
                   [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
    -R <level>     Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
                   that interact with the file system.  The level can
                   be 1, 2 or 3.  The most restrictive is -R 3 which
                   disables all user commands interacting with the
                   file system.
    -S             Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
                   the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
                   commands.
  <logon> is: (<username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /)
              [AS SYSDBA | AS SYSOPER] | /NOLOG
    Specifies the database account username, password and connect
    identifier for the database connection.  Without a connect
    identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
    The AS SYSDBA and AS SYSOPER options are database administration
    privileges.
    The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
    database.
  <start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
    Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
    local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
    will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run.  The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

Well,
your "Administrator" can call SQLPLUS without a full qualified path.
With two Oracle Homes, this clearly indicates a faulty setup, because no part of any ORACLE_HOME
should be part of the system PATH environment in this case.
Again: Check the installation guide for the section to install multiple ORACLE_HOMEs.
Open a CMD.exe for BOTH sidadm-users and post output of the following commands:
PATH
set ORA
(which should deliver at least ORACLE_HOME / ORACLE_SID / ORA_NLS33)
set TNS
Best regards
