That is very strange.  I just tried your configuration file and I was able
to spider your site properly.  Could you try running swishspider manually.
Run the following command:
  /usr/users/bowler/swishe/src/swishspider.pl /tmp/moo http://www.bigelow.org/

and check that the following three files are created:
  /tmp/moo.response
  /tmp/moo.contents
  /tmp/moo.links

and then see if moo.links has anything inside of it.  Also, do you get any
errors from swishspider?
