After some general upgrade, suspending with kpowersave does not quite work anymore. Well, it does work, but before the suspend itself, I get a dialog saying:
Could not umount external media before suspend/standby. (Reason: could not call DCOP interface to umount external media.)
This happens whether I have any external media mounted or not. If I click "continue", everything works as it should, except that I get a message "could not remount all external media" after I resume the session.
Should I worry?

Having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

No, unfortunately not. I've been up to my neck in work since then, but now I'm having a breather, so I intend to investigate it further. I'll report back if I find something.
(The first thing I did was of course a google, and the first hit was this post, which I had more or less forgotten...)

KPowersave works perfectly for me, excluding this one message. I haven't tried to suspend cause I'm afraid something will go wrong and I'm gonna lose my data...

Same problem for me (kpowersave 0.7.3 and KDE 4.1).

Same issue here so I just created a script to do it:
Suspend:
#!/bin/bash
# Lock the screen before suspend
# Using xscreensaver
#xscreensaver-command -lock
# Using dcop with KDE
# To not lock simply replace save for lock
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend \
int32:0
Hibernate:
#!/bin/bash
# Lock the screen before suspend
# Using xscreensaver
#xscreensaver-command -lock
# Using dcop with KDE
# To not lock simply replace save for lock
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Hibernate
Then I created links to the scripts on my panel until kpowersave is fixed. All of this works as a normal user.
version: kdemod3-kpowersave-devel 0.7.3-1

Have anyone tried those scripts on Arch64 with KDE3mod and nVidia GPU (drivers ver. 180.22)?
