I guess that "se.dat" should be at "/usr/local/share/aspell/" (differs from 
yours).
Using any text editor simply create there file "se.dat" with two simple lines:

name se
charset iso8859-1

(not sure about your iso number).

Then try again "aspell --lang=se create master ./se < sv_ord" and copy 
resulting "se" to "/usr/local/lib/aspell/".

And don't forget to create in "/usr/local/lib/aspell/" file "se.multi" with 
one simple line: "add se".

Check result with "aspell dump dicts'' (shows all available dictionaries, 
hopefully also your se).
