When you resume from a suspend, the apm daemon run some scripts at
/etc/apm/event.d. The apm package install there the 00hwclock file to
resync time; take a look at this script, and see what apmd is doing. At
my system, when GMT="-u" in /etc/default/rcS, is:

    hwclock --hctosys -u

If this is your case, and this command doesn't work, try upgrading to
the last slink "util-linux" package (2.9w-1.slink.0); IIRC there was
some change with the "hwclock" options. Another sugestion: take a look
at /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and see what command is using your system at
init (it should be the same).

Hope this help.
