most often this is a problem with matching of the prompt. either
the device "auto enables" or aaa has been used to alter the prompt.

when you login manually, what does the prompt look like?

Hi,

Tried to go deeper with clogin. Machine prompts back with "TESTIRNICA-BD:1
#".

$ clogin bd -c "show version"
bd
spawn telnet bd
Trying 10.10.103.150...
Connected to bd.
Escape character is '^]'.

TESTIRNICA-BD:1 #
TESTIRNICA-BD:1 #
Error: TIMEOUT reached


That is already "enabled" prompt in Cisco terms. Here my .cloginrc config
for this device:

# BlackDiamond
add user bd nmis
add password bd nmis
add noenable bd 1

Regards,
Bostjan

You need this:
add autoenable bd 1
I don't think you need the noenable.

You need this:
