Good morning, from your image, you have Datastore listed as VMWareSwap.  Does this datastore live on block storage within the ESXi host itself or is it mapped from block storage outside, such as a EMC storage device.  I got this to work in a test environment, by following the unregister VM, modifying the vmx file as indicated ( made no changes other than adding the line sched.swap.dir= /vmfs/volumes/datastore2/swap-files) which pointed to datastore local to the ESXi host).  Made sure the "edit swap configuration" on the host pointed to this Datastore.

As a added note, this particular ESXi host is running on the 60 day evaulation licence (default during install).  Not sure if there is a license issue as to what can and cannot be done.

Good luck on your config.
