I have heard of this, and I do believe you must have a special, independent-type visa which would allow you to travel back and forth (what do traveling salesmen do???). But I am not sure. Will research it for you and get back to you smile
If you don't feel like waiting for my response, ask at the Spanish embassy in USA or the American Embassy in Spain.
