I have exactly the same problem with the N9 and the N900. I am thinking it occurred after a skype update for PC last month.
It is odd that it is affecting both devices, but not everyone. I cannot see anyone online. My contacts have disappeared. I removed account and re-added but contacts didn't reappear. I can manually add contacts and they can see me online but not the other way around. Status is "checking". I am hoping someone can shed some light on this.
I have started a thread for the N9

For the N9, please make sure that you've filled out your SCREEN NAME.

I have filled "screen name", "email" and (fake) birthday.
Then the problem seemed to be fixed, but as soon as I started to poke around and removed fields filled on N9 back to empty on my PC, then problem came back soon.
This is a kind of unstable workaround, the issue is NOT SOLVED, at least not permanently. Please investigate the issue further.

Ok, I fixed mine too. What I did was delete my original account from my N900 (backup everything first). Create a new account with skype and log into this new account on my N900. I log into my original account on my PC and add the new account as a contact; everything works on the N900 as it should, I can see the online status and make skype calls.
I then re-add my original account to the N900, and all the contacts resync. My messages haven't synced up yet though, so I had a few random conversations lying around that I deleted.
I don't know if you need to delete the original account from your N900, its worth a shot just adding the new one and save the hassle.

I have also had this problem. And vask's solution seems to have worked, though with a slight modification; I did not create any new Skype account.
Here is what I did:
1. Disable the Skype account which has the problem.
2. Using "xTerm" or whatever you like, and go to "/home/user/.Skype".
3. Delete the folder with the intended Skype account name, or just change its name.
4. Enable the Skype account again.
All Skype contacts should come back alive again.

- filling birthday, gender, phone number, region in the skype profile (any value will do)
- sign out (set status to offline)
- sign in (set status to online)
