If you can apply a label to all of the files on the filesystem
( find $FSROOT -exec chsmack -a "_" {} \; ) and then set the
specific file labels you want you will ensure that you won't
go through the label defaulting mechanism. I don't think that
is your problem, but it's worth a try.

Are you using a base distribution? Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine?
That information may make the issue easier to reproduce.

SMACK-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxx is the most Smack directed list.
linux-security-module@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the "official" place.
casey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is me directly.

Is your list of Smack rules large? What is it based on?

This is where the audit trail could be very helpful. It can tell us
what action failed.
