Hello again. I'm happy to say that spinning down correctly works for me
on jaunty.

The problem is in udev rules.
To keep it short: I needed to copy the 60-persistent-storage.rules file, modify 
ACTION!="add|change" to ACTION!="add". This way sdparm commands work.

You can visit http://ssergeje.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/unmounting-
external-usb-drives-in-ubuntu/ for the details and to grab a script
which does all the things
