Applied, thanks for tracking this down. FWIW, I think there's a bug in libatasmart - I often get this error

  Error retrieving ATA SMART data: helper failed with exit
  code 1: Failed to read smart data for /dev/sda: No such file
  or directory

when refreshing the SMART data from Palimpsest. Funny enough I can't reproduce when doing 'skdump /dev/sda' from the command line. I'll try to track this down when I find some free cycles.
