I think that if you want help you need to describe your situation more, like what happens when you try to suspend.
I have a maverick installation that I constantly put in and out of sleep mode.

Ok I was just coming back to do so. Basically I have a minimal install of Maverick, using nvidia 260.19.44 drivers and the latest xbmc-live unstable ppa. I can install and get XBMC working, even get the navigation sounds working, but for some odd reason using the "shutdown" or "reboot" function only causes xbmc to exit back to X11 ( with the cursor sitting in the middle of a black screen )
Suspend just flickers when I select it and nothing happens.
any ideas?

If all you're using it for is xbmc, go to shell, type sudo chmod +s /sbin/shutdown

So i did a quick test and uninstalled upower and rebooted. I tried using shutdown and it did the exact same thing where it exits back to x11 and sits on a black screen with the cursor in the middle.
Could it be the nightly svn unstable build isn't using making use of upower at all? or possibly a bug in X11?

make sure that you're compiling with HAL disabled. Also, there's a behavior setting in xbmc that handles the shut down function, check that it's actually set to shut down and not just quit.

This is what i did with Mac mini and Maverick installed from mini.iso and it has been working ever since
- install upower
- create a file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla with the following contents:
Code:
[Actions for xbmc user]
Identity=unix-user:xbmc
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*;org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultAny=auth_admin
ResultInactive=yes

Yes, a pkla is what is needed for permission from Lucid and hopefully it will not keep changing
