9/10 times you can spot the problem by just hooking up a logic analyzer and seeing if your master is doing what you think it's doing. Probe all your lines MOSI, MISO, CLK, CS and see what is going on with your master. Also, it's always good to hook up an oscilloscope and look at signal quality. Are there lots of ringing? Overshoot and undershoot causing false logic transitions? Your question is far too generic to suggest anything other than to suggest generic solutions.
