The lock file is in the "data-dir":
$ smart config --show data-dir
/var/lib/smart

But it's a real file lock, so it doesn't remain once the process died.
Are you really sure there is no smart process still running ?

ps -ef | grep smart | grep -v grep

If that line shows anything, kill those processes.

cheers
