I have changed my script to output:

PUTVAL fileserver/exec-smart/temperature-3ware_0 interval=60 N:34
PUTVAL fileserver/exec-smart/temperature-3ware_1 interval=60 N:35
PUTVAL fileserver/exec-smart/temperature-3ware_2 interval=60 N:35
PUTVAL fileserver/exec-smart/temperature-3ware_3 interval=60 N:34
