You may want to add debugging lines into /etc/acpi/lid.sh to see what's going on, e.g.
LIDLOG=/var/log/lid.sh.log
echo "$(date): called lid.sh" >> $LIDLOG
echo "$(date): state $(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state)" >> $LIDLOG

In bug 44393 there was mentioned that this was caused by a broken DSDT on a Dell Inspiron 6400/1505 (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/44393/comments/9)

Please also test, if this is fixed with Hardy already.
Thank you.
