You running Vista on a fresh install?
That could be indexing at work
Is this the drive with your OS? if you ran filemon and saw nothing scrolling by, then I'd try to re-run it and check your settings, there's always something going on even when you aren't doing anything.
I just know theres another diagnostic I just need the right person to chime in.
I ran the WD diagnostic on it for thirteen hours and it came back "PASS" and S.M.A.R.T. "PASS" but I'd like more specific info than that...
RollingThunder: Anything similar but free?
I useed something like spinrite once before. Told me the drive I had at the time was impending doom.
