Sorry for the delay, but this is what I think you want.

The site local location for fdi policy files should be

/etc/hal/fdi/policy

(at least it is on FC5) If you don't have that dir then you might create it 
and see. Otherwise you could drop it into

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor

Create a new file

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/12-custom-power-mgmt-policy.fdi

and set the contents to this

----<snip>-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <device>
    <match key="info.udi" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer">
      <remove 
key="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths" 
type="strlist">hal-system-power-suspend</remove>
      <remove 
key="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths" 
type="strlist">hal-system-power-hibernate</remove>
      <prepend 
key="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths" 
type="strlist">/usr/sbin/hibernate</prepend>
      <prepend 
key="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths" 
type="strlist">hal-system-power-suspend</prepend>
    </match>
  </device>

</deviceinfo>
----<snip>-----

I am attaching it so that the lines aren't wrapped

I tried this on my system and it did replace the hibernate execpath as 
expected. (I restarted the hal and checked).

I think /etc/hal/fdi/policy is the preferred location for site/system 
specific fdi policy files.

Hope this helps,

Andrew
