Sure thing. The procedure above will be much quicker and it will keep
any existing data. Just go to Options - Default Values and make sure
everything is on <keep>.
But if you did want to do it manually, sounds like there isn't that
much to do. You can save a bit of time for albums with the same artist
by typing the artist name for the first file, saving it, selecting the
first file, shift+click the last file and pull-down the artist field,
then save.

Looks to me like your command line argument is missing something.
Since you have everything else, be on the lookout for a misplaced
quotation mark or percentage sign:
Code:
--------------------
-6 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T
"tracknumber=%n"
-T "genre=%m" -T comment="%e" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %s --replay-gain
--------------------
Look carefully at your "artist=%a" argument.
It'll save you time to do a dry run or two to make sure it's working
properly before ripping whole albums again.
