What does this SMART report mean and what should I do?

I've been using Joe L.'s wonderful unMenu and after perusing the SMART statistics I noticed one drive looks a little funky.  The report shows errors, but says the drive passed "SMART overall-health self-assessment test".  What does this mean and what should I now do (if anything)?  Here's the report (sorry, pastebin wouldn't load for me):

compare the poweron hours to the hours when this error occured and you will see it's quite a while ago.

I looks as though there was a communication error during a direct memory transfer.

Those errors are not significant at the current time.

 

I did not see any reallocated sectors nor any pending sectors.

 

if you do a short test I'm sure it will pass.

Those aren't the results of a short test?

 

No they are transient errors during a prior timeframe that were logged into tht rotating error log

shows no tests were run yet.

 

it should look similar to this

Also, unmenu says, "SMART reports and tests will spin up the drive.", but if I go into the web gui for my server and spin down all the drives and then click on a short test in unmenu and then repeatedly hit refresh on the web gui, no drives ever show as spinning up.  Something must be wrong in unmenu?
