The first time I tried to run it on an XT I also got the message about
location of files.   Then a combination of another program which told me to
change files=n in config.sys because there wasn't enough for it, plus a line
in the SM manual which said it needed files=20 (I was at files=16) turned on a
little lightbulb.
I changed config.sys  to say files=24, rebooted and it worked!  
SM must consume more memory in open file descriptors and buffers than they
save by not reading all the files in one at a time, closing and reusing the 
file slots!
