It looks OK to me, although the second name in the Cw definition may not be
needed.

Well, since the incorrect address translation is happening in ruleset 6,
could you let us know what S6 in your sendmail.cf contains, along with
the definitions of any other variables or classes it references?

Well, yes.  The Dm variable is apparently being used in S0, but that's not
where the problem is, since ki.icl.se is indeed your local domain.  S0 is
just replacing the string "LOCAL" (which is used internally only) with your
actual domain name before passing it on to S9.  The problem seems to be in
S6's rules.

Very good question.  Hopefully your S6 will give us a clue.

That matches your definitions of Dm and Cm, as it should.
