I don't know what's wrong. But examine your default syslog.conf file to be
sure that it's not configured to send messages from ALL the logging
facilities (such as local3) explicitly to /var/log/messages.
This would explain why you are getting the messages in two places.

I have smartd set to log to 'local3' via the -l option, and have
modified syslog to send local3.* to /var/log/smartd.log.
Messages are sent to /var/log/smartd.log, but are still also
going to /var/log/messages, even with both daemons restarted.
Is this supposed to happen? I'm trying to get all the smartd
warnings out of /var/log/messages.
