$ sudo heimdall flash --recovery ./clockworkmod_6.0.3.2_jfltespr.img --no-reboot
Heimdall v1.4.0

This is because the command you used to invoke heimdall was,

heimdall flash --recovery

And, heimdall is caps sensitive, try this instead.

heimdall flash --RECOVERY ./clockworkmod_6.0.3.2_jfltespr.img --no-reboot

    If you get ERROR: Failed to receive handshake response. Result: -7 after an earlier attempt, reboot the device and try this heimdall --RECOVERY ... command again.

My partition was not called recovery but "SOS". You can check it by doing: heimdall print-pit --verbose from a terminal while the tab is in Download mode.

I flashed my p7510. Gist: https://gist.github.com/pskiden/6311605
