Indeed, by RAW not.
I've seen two houserules which try to deal with the problem:
1. Some GMs allow Banish to be against spirit powers in the same way as Counterspell is used. It's a nice idea, because Banish seems to be pretty useless to most mages since they just cast Stunbolt or Manabolt against spirits instead of Banishing (and risking uncalculable drain).
2. Take a hint from SR5, where they at least now gave the target two attributes instead of one to resist:
Confusion against Will + Logic
Influence against Will + Logic
Paralysing howl against Will + Intuition
This gives the target a better chance (two pools against two pools instead of SR4s two pools against one pool)
