John--

I am lost at this point.  Emacspeak needs a directory to work.  Additionally 
the code you are talking about has not changed, so it already ran the same 
code successfully on your computer.

.servers is a file that holds a list of the servers installed, not a 
directory.  You have to have an emacspeak directory and in it there is a 
servers directory and in that directory is a .servers file that has a list of 
the servers. 

Sounds a bit confusing, but in short like for my computer:

~/.emacs.d/emacspeak/servers is where swiftmac will be installed, as well as 
the scripts like cloud-swiftmac and additionally in the directory is a 
.servers files which lists all the servers available.  You shouldn't even be 
able to see .servers if you are not in the servers directory. 

I use emacs and a shell script to find where your emacspeak is installed, 
then do the required modifications to the emacspeak install to insert 
swiftmac, while leaving turning it on in the users hands.
