I would be more inclined to try the following first:

    1) emerge rsync
    2) emerge sys-apps/baselayout
    3) emerge clean
    4) find /etc -iname "._cfg*"
    5) Ensure any files shown are copied over their equivalents, having
       stripped the prefix off. You'll get a very noticeable warning
       after anything you emerge if you haven't been doing this. Make
       sure you preserve any customisations with your important
       configuration files.

For example, you might have a newer hdparm script in your /etc/init.d 
directory, something like:

     ._cfg0000_hdparm

But it's up to you to copy/move it over the old one. As for permissions, 
I think they should all be like this:

      chown root:root /etc/init.d/*
      chmod 755 /etc/init.d/*

If you still have problems, /then/ see if there's anything on Bugzilla. 
You can test it by invoking directly as root:

    /etc/init.d/hdparm start
