Using Photoshop To Create An Animate “Smart Object”

I'm currently using Photoshop CS6 using an image with three layers.

One layer is the background layer. Another layer is a simple shape (star) layer. And a third layer is a set of text that I imported from Adobe Illustrator into the picture.

What I would like to do is break apart the smart object layer (two words) and spread it out (and mark that as a keyframe). Then bring it back together in another. (second keyframe)

Here's the problem:

I created two frames in the timelime feature by duplicating the frame. I select one frame and double click on the smart object in the layer browser. I make the adjustment to the word object in Illustrator and save. I go back to Photoshop and now BOTH frames are now adjust to how I don't want it to be. Am I doing something wrong?
