Something is not right - there should be 0 volts between N and PE. P to N should be 120, P to PE 120. Are you measuring voltage with this inlet plugged in to the wall outlet? Be careful!
If it's not plugged in there will be no voltage.
If it is plugged in, are you sure that the outlet and power cord are wired correctly? Don't wire anything to this inlet until you discover what is wrong - it sounds like your ground pin is live - if you ground anything to it that will also become live.

Stereojim,
Here's the schematic for that switch from Schaffner's datasheet. I'm not much with schematics, but it looks to me like PE should be earth ground. Perhaps you're better reading these than me....
Manny, when you're measuring, you have a fuse in place and the switch in the "on" position?
It appears PE is earth ground. Funning way of showing it is straight through though.I wonder if this thing is Listed by any recognized third party safety testing laboratory.
Note:
P (hot), and N (neutral) are both switched with a double pole single throw switch.The fuse is in series with P the HOT, as it should be.

I agree PE should be earth, but he said he measured 120 volts between N and PE. Since N is tied to ground, there should not be any voltage difference between the two. Maybe he measured something other than voltage - there might be resistance between N and PE, but there should not be 120 volts. The voltage should appear only at the live wire (P) - the others should be at 0 volts. I'm not sure how he measured this, but something is not right.
