The variable message is empty, thus it returns a nil value. As far as I can tell it's not defined anywhere. addCommandHandler stores all the messages as parameters, by using ... you can then store these in a table. You then use table.concat to concatenate them into a string. See this example;

function adminMessage(thePlayer, theCommand, ...)
	local playerName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(thePlayer))
	local messageParameters = {...}
	local fullString = table.concat(messageParameters, " ")
	
	if(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..playerName, aclGetGroup("Admin"))) then
		outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
	elseif(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..playerName, aclGetGroup("SuperModerator"))) then
		outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
	elseif(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..playerName, aclGetGroup("Moderator"))) then
		outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
	elseif(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..playerName, aclGetGroup("Console"))) then 
		outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
	elseif(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..playerName, aclGetGroup("Administrator"))) then 
		outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
	else
	outputChatBox("ACCESS DENIED, You are not Admin", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0, true) 
	end
end
addCommandHandler("adm", adminMessage)

function outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, theMessage)
	outputChatBox("#ff0000~>#ff8c00Announcement: "..theMessage, root, 255, 255, 255, true)
end

local aclGroup = {"Admin","SuperModerator","Moderator","Console","Administrator"}

function adminMessage(thePlayer, theCommand, ...)
    local account = getPlayerAccount(thePlayer)
    if account and not isGuestAccount(account) then 
        local accountName = getAccountName(account)
        local messageParameters = {...}
        local fullString = table.concat(messageParameters, " ")
        local passed = false
        for i=1 , #aclGroup do
            if(isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accountName, aclGetGroup(aclGroup[i]))) then
                outputAdminMessage(thePlayer, fullString)
                passed = true
                break
            end 
        end 
        if not passed then
