There is in fact an invalid regular expression in the drive database module.
The bug in invisible on most other platforms supported by smartmontools,
because of a subtle difference in regex syntax of Cygwin and GNU regex(3).

See recent topic "unsupported disk drive?" on smartmontools support list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=12495

I will release a fixed package soon.

Thanks for the problem report.
