Thanks. It turns out I'm not the only one with the problem and it looks like proximty isn't the issue. The Apple support forum is full of people saying their Aiprot goes to flashing amber when they turn on the external hard drive that's hooked to a USB hub. Mine did it again last night and they're well apart from each other now. It looks like the workaround is to disconnect the AE from the power and then turn on the hard drive, and then turn on the AE. Not sure what's causing it but the fix is somewhat annying.
