You will probably need to make a rule to allow LOCALHOST connections.
That has bit me in my but, so it would be like

ipchains -A input -i lo0 -j ACCEPT

Also, what I like, is to allow everything outbound ...

ipchains -P output ACCEPT

but, that is just me ... I would try that input line, and see if that
takes care of your probably.  Remember, after you run that line, you will
need to restart you swatch app, or just wait 15 minutes
