This is harmless, it is a one-time warning.

Sorry, i have no idea about the dbus details, Holger has to help here.

ok, so either rmmod is not in the PATH for the script or there is some other
problem.

Look in /var/log/suspend2disk.log*, there might be a reason mentioned.

For the possible PATH problem, try changing 
/usr/lib/powersave/scripts/sleep_helper_functions, around line 70 from

    if rmmod $UNL; then
to
    if /sbin/rmmod $UNL; then

if it this solves it, we might need to add a check for this (are there 
systems where rmmod is not in /sbin?).

To make it short: if it does not work in minimal mode (init=/bin/bash), as
described e.g. on http://www.opensuse.org/ACPI_Suspend_debugging, then it
also won't work with powersaved.
Powersaved does not solve the low level problems, it just provides a high-
level interface.

This does not actually look too bad, but...

..does not get you too much further anyway.
Can you give some more info about the hardware of your machine?
- graphics card
- harddisk (SATA or standard IDE)
- chipset type (lspci)

i have a HP nc6230 where i needed to patch the IDE driver for ACPI resume
methods and which needs vbetool to get the display back (your display at
least turns on), but even without these hacks, it resumed and did not lock
up - means: i could hit caps-lock after resume and the led would light.
But it would hang as soon as the disk was accessed.

Suspend to RAM is still a kind of black magic on many machines. :-(
