This means that you've set the HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS to a value high enough to prevent the disk from sleeping at all. I'd have hoped the opposite. If you don't hear the disk heads unparking, then laptop mode doesn't fix anything but has just the side-effect of keeping your disk up. Please report a bug against sysklogd, it must be the culprit.
