You might assign yourself the area rather than that room's vnum and use instaroom before you use savearea, finally, you might want to try hotboot rather than reboot mud now so you don't have to relogon to see if your changes stuck.

Personally, I far prefer to edit the area files manually in a text editor rather than online, but changes I make to my mud even online usually do stick. You didn't mention which version of Smaug you're using. If it's SmaugFUSS 1.8 or later, you can't use Nick's Area Editor because the area files are a very different format, but if you're using one of the older versions of Smaug then that's an option too.
