Your welcome, I think. I would have a hard time explaining the Ms to
my wife and 4 kids :-)

I never saw that one... my first instinct would be a missing directory
or a permission problem.

From mtab(4)
{ /etc/mtab contains a table of filesystems currently mounted by the
{ mount(1M) command.
"mounted filesystems", you should not have your swap partition in there.
