I can run all of those, and I’ve never had to sudo them:

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

As you can see from the Self-test log, the configuration file was all working up to a point and then just stopped.
