Just what it says.  You are indexing the same directory where you are
creating the index, and it is trying to index a binary file (the index that
you are currently building).  Swish can parse HTML, XML, and text.  It
can't parse binary data.

You forgot to say -S http.  (really you forgot to say -S prog, but I won't
go into that now ;).

I don't think I'm really following what problem you are having.

  ./swish-e -T index_files won't start indexing unless you also use -c.

Use -S prog?   It's just so much easier to debug spidering with -S prog, I
think.
