Its a long shot, but have you disconnected all peripherals - 
particularly any network connections (including wireless) and  
anything else that may occasionally create some activity? Even a  
misbehaving mouse or keyboard could be a problem (or a misbehaving  
pet messing with the mouse or keyboard).

One other question, can you get it to sleep by selecting it from the  
Apple menu? If so, does it stay asleep for the 15 minutes or so  of  
inactivity you have set to make sleep on its own? I'm just trying to  
determine if its not sleeping because it's sensing some time of  
activity.
