Just to expand a little - I think the default metadata schema when creating a Mets package from DSpace is Mods. In theory if the Fedora Sword Server claims to accept Mets packages conforming to the DSpace Mets SIP Profile (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile) it should be able to deal with the incoming Mods metadata, in practice it may expect the metadata to conform to SWAP (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/Eprints_Application_Profile). DSpace does allow you to specify the crosswalk for a metadata schema when creating the Mets package, so you could change it to create SWAP compliant metadata. However, as Mark points out, the existing SWAP crosswalk is fairly skeletal. You do have the option of expanding that crosswalk or adding a new one if none of the existing crosswalks meet your needs.
