Well, FWIW, and at the risk of showing off my rather meager talents at bash
scripting (lol), my script simply checks that the drives aren't busy, and
then unmounts them before suspending.  I still have to manually remount them
after I resume. 

#! /bin/bash
umount /mnt/Ptec
if [ -e "/mnt/Ptec/Gentoo" ]; then
    echo "Device Ptec Busy"
    exit
else
        umount /mnt/USB
fi
if  [ -e "/mnt/USB/icons" ]; then
   echo "Device USB Busy"
   exit 
else
      /usr/sbin/hibernate-ram
fi
