"DriveStatusError" is "Command Aborted" in ac-speak. From the man page for smartctl, we read:
>-o VALUE Enables or disables SMART automatic offline test ... >Note that the SMART automatic offline test command is listed as "Obsolete" in every >version of the ATA and ATA/ATAPI Specifications.

There's a chance that your drives simply do not fully support this feature, and are rejecting attempts to use it.
By the way, the latest 2.6.16-rc5-git4 is available, and has FUA turned off by default now. So it should work with your drives, and *you* are expected to verify that for us all now.
Cheers
