Robert Hancock thought this was a hardware problem.
He was right.
I switched around cables on the hot-swap backplane, figuring that I
would determine whether I had a bad cable or a bad backplane ( hoping
for a bad cable ) and the problem went away. One of the cables wasn't
seated properly apparently. ( It was a tight 1U box with very
aggressive twist-ties that I had to cut to switch them around, so this
wasn't immediately obvious.
I would make sure that all cables are seated properly, and try a
different cable if the problem persists.

I saw your email in the kernel dev mailing and I think I have the same problem, but since I am not a kernel developer, or running the bleeding edge kernels, I was not sure whether it was appropriate for me to post on the list.
My hard drive is a Seagate Barracudas ( 7200.10, 750GB, ST3750640AS ), very similar to yours. It is brand new (less than a month old)
I also get the:
CPB flags CMD err, flags-0x11
error in /var/log/messages.
I am running kernel 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6
Did you figure out a way to fix the problem?
