Yes, System Preferences itself must be listed in the Security & Privacy System Preferences panel. (That's because that's where shortcut keys are assigned, so you need permission for that ... witchdaemon is the actual task that watches the keys and pops up the panel, so it needs permission, too.)

Ah, the System Preferences panel inside the System Preferences -- got it.
:) Working now, thanks!

Right -- so do you see System Preferences listed in the Accessibility panel? It needs to be there, too.

Do you also have System Preferences (if bought from us) or Witch.app (if bought from the App Store) in that same list? You need both witchdaemon and the app itself.

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately my problem is with Mavericks,
not Yosemite (work is not letting us upgrade quite yet).  I can see
"witchdaemon" in the Accessibility list, and I can check the box next to
it, however that does not make the message go away in Witch.  I also do not
have the +- buttons in the Accessibility list in Security & Privacy to add
in a Witch item by hand.  Although I don't have a Witch app to add it from
anyway...thanks!

Please see the help file’s Tips and Tricks section about enabling on Mavericks — I’m guessing you haven’t given access to Accessibility for System Preferences itself, which is required for using Command-Tab.

If you have done that, then it may just be a case of secure text input, which you need to disable (by finding the offending app) before you can assign Command-Tab. More details: <http://manytricks.com/support/index.php?act=article&code=view&id=22>
