sudo pmset: hard disk stays wide awake.

Mac or bust
Ok, I've been noticing that my imac refuses to spin the hard drive down after a set interval even after changing the disksleep parameter with: sudo pmset -a disksleep x (Of course x = time specified in minutes). Do I have a corrupted system file someplace? And I notice it will actually do it on a fresh reboot. As soon as I run an app (Safari in particular) that's it, the drive keeps running even after I let the machine sit for a while. Any gurus out there have an answer to this one?
