I tried smartctl and it ran fine, but found no errors (on the short
test).

FYI - I had to specify the ata device type to make it work.

    smartctl -d ata -t short /dev/sda

I was also able to get the smartd service running by adding '-d ata'
to both lines in the /etc/smartd.conf file.

Everything seems to be running normally now.  Smartd is configured to
send me email on problems now, so I'll keep an eye on it and see what
happens.
