I found that I could avoid the error by giving a blank "apm" value in
hdparm.conf, i.e.

/dev/sdb {
apm = 
}

This causes the udev script to run "hdparm -B /dev/sdb", which simply
prints (to stdout) a message with the current APM level and thus avoids
causing the drive to return an error status when hdparm tries to
change/set the APM level....
