Andres,

No I have not tested it with the pm-powersave ACTION_METHOD.  I will
have to take a look at this and see how it works to comment.  The
hardware I have been working with is too old to do much with the
powersave mode, so I really hadn't looked at it much.

The way the plugin works, it should really only have a problem if
something keeps the drives in active/idle state.  That would keep
PowerNap from declaring the plugin inactive and thus going to sleep.
Perhaps a more strongly worded comment is in order in the config file
that states something to the effect

"If you monitor a drive that does not go into standby or sleep mode,
PowerNap will not sleep, since it will continue to view the drive as in
use.  Therefore, it only makes sense to monitor a drive that has already
been configured to standby or sleep.  Note also that this plugin only
reacts to the state of the drive and does not modify the behavior of the
drive directly."
