Thanks.  It's working now.

It wasn't sufficient to just remove the Seaside file or even the
entire sm subdirectory.  In the end, I removed the sm subdirectory and
restarted Squeak in order to get in working.

All of these false warning messages and difficulty recovering from a
bad download are not very inviting to a new user.
