You pretty much said it right there. To cause physical harm you have to be able to actually interact with physical things. FYI, the Aniur didn't have bodies when they made Arda.

And his spirit was cursed to never rest until his oath had been fulfilled. Spirits, as I have shown with 2 different quotes were impotent and could not physically harm anything....the same thing happens to Saruman when he dies.

Look at Sauron; a horribly crippled spirit when he was finally defeated. The Witch-King was vanquished from the world when he died. The dead army just pretty much died regularly but got to stay in Middle-Earth. Also, the curse wouldn't be lifted until they fought for Gondor. If they were expected to fight, then why were they cursed with something that wouldn't let them fight?
