You should be using "-y" (standby) instead of "-Y" (sleep).

I'll try that. But that's not going to make it spin up when it gets a SMART
query is it?

Depends on what SMART items are being queried.

Actually, what you should *really* be using is "hdparm -S"
with a suitable timeout value (say, 30 or larger).
