I'm still interested to know why this is failing on your server. On a 
Solaris 9 box, I get:

bash-2.05$ ./check_swap -v -v -v -w 10% -c 5% -a
Command: /usr/sbin/swap -l
Format: %*s %*[0-9,-] %*d %d %d
total=513, free=358
SWAP OK: 70% free (358 MB out of 513 MB) [358 (70%)] 
|swap=358MB;51;25;0;513

What is your output? What is the swap -l output?
