Make sure the Photoshop Spot file is saves as a DCS 2.0 format and when placing in Illustrator have the Link option box checked.

kandasamy:

PSDs will do nicely, and remain editable as well. Don’t quite know what you mean by spot color TIFF as spots are not supported in this format.

You should, however, be able to "paint" a grayscale tiff any spot you like in Illustrator.

DCS 2.0

A horribly archaic file format. Just use PSD.
