I confirm this bug for SATA2 disk!
My hddtemp version is 0.3-beta15.
I've tried with two pcs, one with Debian Etch and a IDE disk, when a drive is 
sleeping if I try to get the temperature hddtemp returns correctly: "/dev/hda: 
ST3500630A: drive is sleeping".
The other pc has Ubuntu Hardy and a SATAII disk, I've killed the hddtemp daemon 
and when the drive is sleeping if I try to get the temperature the disk 
poweron..
here the log:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d# hdparm -C /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: drive state is:  standby
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d# hddtemp /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: ST3250620NS: 45°C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d# hdparm -C /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: drive state is:  active/idle

running hddtemp as a daemon might cause unnecessary disk activity
