I don't think that it is a bug, because here SWAT and "samba-2.0.7" are
running quite well (i.e. the status of both "smbd" and "nmbd" is listed
correctly).

Perhaps you have got a line called

  "bind interfaces only = yes"

within your "smb.conf" and forgot to add the IP address of your loopback
device ("127.0.0.1") to the "interfaces = " line. This would be a
possible explanation for the strange behaviour of SWAT.
