I had the exact same issue. I installed version 1.3 which offered to try with admin privileges and that did the trick! Works now! Mac OS X Yosemite.

This app seemed to do the trick the first day I had it in use with an external WD 3TB USB3 drive, but this morning the drive was asleep with no settings changed in 10.8.5 so something is still being overridden at some point which defeats the point of the app.
