Use either swish-e -p description or swish-e -T index_files (I think you can use -b and -m 
to limit what is shown) to make sure you have a property.

IIRC, SwishResultPropertyStr returns the text (null) if the property name doesn't exist at
all (i.e. you used "descripion" by mistake), otherwise it returns an empty string if the
given file just doesn't have any data for that property.

There's nothing special about a property named "description" so if others are working and 
this one isn't then it's likely that swish-e is not storing any data for that property when 
indexing.  Use -T properties when indexing to check.
