I found that if I manually put the Zune to sleep (hold down + back) after plugging it in, my Zune would not charge. Most likely this is by design. The hard drive is always spinning if the Zune is awake or in light sleep (paused and screen dimmed). When in deep sleep, the hard drive isn't spinning and it does not seem to draw a charge of any kind. This may have been done to prevent a user from being able to engage the HD without it spinning up first.

Although...it is pretty common for devices to draw a charge even if off. Notebook computers as an example...
