Probably some hardcoded bug, because the swordsman.ini file seems okay. So does the swordmanfortify.mp3 file (some files are called swordsman* and others swordman*, but these names are consistent with related files, and renaming doesn't help).
I solved that problem by using the spearman fortify sound instead. It works now! Not quite sure why the Swordsman SFX doesn't work, but it's definitely not a hardcode thing.
