Here's a dirty work-around:
~$ cd /usr/lib/devicekit-disks
/usr/lib/devicekit-disks$ sudo mv devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect
devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect.real
/usr/lib/devicekit-disks$ sudo sh -c "cat
>devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect <<EOF
> #!/bin/sh
> [ "$1" != "/dev/sdb" ] &&
/usr/lib/devicekit-disks/devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect.real "$@"
> EOF"
/usr/lib/devicekit-disks$ sudo chmod a+x
devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect
$ ls -l devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 99 2009-10-16 09:30
devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5608 2009-09-19 18:30
devkit-disks-helper-ata-smart-collect.real
Replace /dev/sdb with the device you don't want to spin up.
