Thanks for asking.
Please check System Preferences > Bluetooth > More/Advanced options > Enable bluetooth devices to wake computer (or similar). Is it enabled?
Yes it's enabled. The bluetooth keyboard I'm using is able to wake the machine.
Are you running OS X Lion 10.7 or OS X Lion 10.7.1?
Running 10.7.1 now but this also happened on 10.7.0
Are you using an internal Apple Bluetooth module - or a third-party Bluetooth USB stick?
I'm using the Belkin Mini Bluetooth Laptop Adapter

Which Mac model are you using? Is it one of the recently introduced, new Mac Mini/MacBook Air versions?
Here's the part where you tell me to screw off :)
I have a MacBook Pro, a MacBook and (4) Hackintoshes. This machine I'm testing on is an HTPC hackintosh but like I said, the keyboard DOES wake the computer so I know bluetooth is functioning to wake the PC. I'm going to test it out on my MacBook to see if it's a hackintosh thing. I also have an Apple branded bluetooth module I'll be installing in the hackitnosh to test as well. I thought, since reading the blog post, this might be a known issue for the PS3 remote. Also know that I've been building HTPC hackintoshes for a couple years now and remote buddy has always worked in the past on Snow Leopard for this purpose.
What happens if you quit and relaunch Remote Buddy when you're experiencing the issue of the remote control not being "seen" by Remote Buddy? And, at the time the problem occurs, do you see the "Bluetooth Receiver" device in Prefs > Hardware?
I'm able to see the remote again if I do this. The bluetooth receiver never disappears, neither does the Apple BT keyboard I have. That always works. It's only my PS3 remote which is why I thought it was remotebuddy related.
