Please retry without 'sat+' prefix because '-d aacraid,...' already does 
SAT detection internally.

If this does not work, retry with the 64-bit version of smartctl. It is 
included in the same *.win32-setup.exe package. There is no need to 
install it, you could also unpack single files with 7-zip.

If this does not work, please provide smartctl debug output as an 
attachment:

   smartctl -r ioctl,2 -d aacraid,0,X,Y -i /dev/sdb

Thanks,
Christian
