If you have installed smartd service using some run-anything-as-service 
wrapper, smartd would not work as expected.

smartd 5.33 has buildin support to run as a windows service. This has 
been sucessfully tested on XP SP2.

To install smartd as a service, use:

  smartd install [options ...]

See NOTES section of smartd man page 
(http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/man/smartd.8.html#lbAK) for more 
details.
