If it says /dev/hda5 then swap is not encrypted.

Check that /sbin/swapon and /sbin/swapoff (really a symlink) are from
patched version of util-linux. Also check that the option fields of
/etc/fstab lines do not have any spaces or tabs.

Yes.

Please post full encrypted swap line from your /etc/fstab, with nothing
removed or added.
