If you are using 1.0.3, try 1.0.2 or the latest version from our
Subversion repository, because there was a bug regarding broadcast
packets in switch mode.

Can't you just simplify that to the following?

ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.170.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.252

Subnet statements don't have any effect in switch mode.

That's not good... it should not be a pointopoint device. Which version
of tinc are you using, and did you perhaps create a persistent tun
device before starting tinc?
