Did you read the header of the file? It said "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Add
files in /etc/pm/config.d/ instead", which is what you should have done.
The reason for this is that if you modify the variables here, they will
be overwritten when you upgrade pm-utils. So you should just dump a file
in /etc/pm/config.d with the line "HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown".
