Good news are - your configuration file comes into play:

Bad news are - /lib/hdparm/hdparm-functions screws you over:

This corresponds to line 222 of aforementioned script:

	if [ -n "$OPTIONS" ] && [ "$DISC" = "$WANTED_DISK" ]
	then
		echo $OPTIONS
		return 0
	fi

You have options defined, but second comparison fails. $DISC seems to be
defined at line 113:

	DISC=$(readlink -m "$KEY")
	DISC=${DISC%%[[:digit:]]*}

And readlink 'helpfully' transforms your 'persistent' HDD name to
/dev/sdb.

So udev is not to blame here. It's shell-based config parsing library.

Whitelist it. A file should be called
/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.thunderbird.

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete

Assuming that your SATA controller is sane, it'll powerdown the drive
until the next reboot or SATA bus scan.
