vmware does not sync time after guest suspend

After resuming from suspend a vmware arch 64 guest system time does not sync. I use vmware suspend option, not host hardware suspend.

tools.syncTime = "TRUE"

is set in .vmx config file.

Guest time sync is enabled and vmware-user is running:

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd timesync status
Enabled
$ ps aux | grep vm

What can I do to get host-guest time sync after guest suspend? NTP is not an option.
