Ruling out the obvious, command_interpreter is set?
Also, it looks like swatch is creating a temporary script that is
actually run, so the status command is not supposed to find it.

It's a design issue upstream that you want them to find a better
solution for.

As a work around, you can write a wrapper script that catches
SIGTERM and kills off $TMPDIR/.swatch_script.`cat /var/run/swatch.pid`.
In your rc script you then specify this wrapper as the actual
daemon. All in all it ain't pretty.
