Are you using Eboni Black or Photo Black?  I just created the same problem on a color image 
on Ilford Smooth Pearl late last night by forgetting to switch the Eboni (Matte) Black for Photo 
Black.  I saw it right away with the gloss diferential last night and sure enough after reading 
your post I rubbed a finger across a black area and it smudged to beat the band. I'm sure the 
semiglossy will have the same problem
