Hi Sarath,
   I suspect your user doesn't have an appropriate role in the tenant
being used. In your swift proxy config file you'll find a option called
operator_roles, which will look something like this

operator_roles = admin, swiftoperator

you'll need to make sure your user has a role in this list (in the
tenant being used) in order to use swift.

see keystone user-role-add to add the role

Hope this helps,
Derek
