Or more likely the *incorrect* command if your suspend2-patched kernel 
is not distro-standard.  I reported earlier that things were working 
like a dream on my Fedora laptop, but forgot that I needed to edit one 
of these scripts to get it working.  On my Fedora box, 
hal-system-power-hibernate calls /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate, so I edited 
/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate to call /usr/sbin/hibernate from the suspend2 tools.

I don't think either HAL or the vendor-supplied script (pm-hibernate) is 
to blame here.  Fedora doesn't ship a suspend2 kernel, so its fair that 
their hibernate script doesn't do suspend2 hibernation.  Change the 
kernel and you need to change the script accordingly.

So this is all a long way of saying Richard is right that "The last step 
is probably where you are having the problems."  Examine 
hal-system-power-hibernate to see what distro-specific hibernate command 
it is using and either change that command or the 
hal-system-power-hibernate script to do the right suspend2 stuff instead.
