dbus can't make system suspend

[Glen Ditchfield]

I ran "sudo /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/suspend_test --full" for QA test http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/6475/879.
When the script runs test 1 (suspend via dbus) the laptop does not sleep, and after a pause the test script reports "SUSPEND FAILED, did not go to sleep". The laptop does sleep during other tests that the script runs.

Still present in Oneiric Beta 2

[Glen Ditchfield (gjditchfield)]

The bug is not present in the Kubuntu Precise 20120421 daily build.

Clarification: dbus does suspend the laptop, although suspend_test still prints the incorrect "SUSPEND FAILED" message.
