hi,

do you have any custom hooks in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ ?
I had a similiar problem once when I created a custom hook and didn't 
fork the process I was starting inside the hook, so pm-suspend would 
wait forever for the hook to exit.
/var/log/pm-suspend.log should be able to show you at what hook it is 
hanging.
