[Reham Mostafa]

At the step of importing a list of .smf files using

lsd-import-smf -c 3pi ps1_det ps1_exp ~/ps1-sas-smfs/*

Importing SMF files:

What is this error?

I've only used lsd-import-smf through the ps1-load.py wrapper. It
looks like /root/ps1-sas/smfs may not exist, or that that code is
expecting the * to get expanded by the shell, but it's not.

More generally though, it looks like this problem is going to be very
PS1 specific; where are you located? There may be a database already
available for you.

It's definitely the case that the shell is not finding files in that directory. The ~ may be causing problems (this has been the case for me). You might try writing your home directory explicitly.
