When I ran the smartd like you did from the command line like the above, it seems to work properly:

There is an entry on the Mac Ports Trac site for an upgrade to 6.3 here:  https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45982 <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45982>

I’m going to try compiling smartmontools from source and give that a try to see if I still run into the same issue and hope that the 6.3 update whenever it is released from Mac Ports will fix this problem.

I’ll also likely post a bug report since there doesn’t seem to be one for this already.
