Still no luck here. I tried the various suggestions to no avail. I
want to emphasize again that these machines had no difficulty
automatically sleeping before the installation of SP1, but have been
unable to sleep automatically ever since installing it. I did not make
any settings or software changes in between, so it seems like it was
something specifically about installing SP1 that broke the feature.
