I don't think the problem comes from the pseudo-scsi interface. I don't have 
any usb disks to test what you said, but in generell scsi disks  (or ide/sata 
devices that are handled like a scsi disks) can be handled with hdparm.

for example I can do the following on my system (sata disk in real):

# hdparm -y /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 issuing standby command

or

# hdparm -S 12 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 setting standby to 12 (1 minutes)

What do you get, when you try to run hdparm?

regards,
 Ralph
