For some reason my mac mini refuses to start the screensaver or go to sleep unless I put the mouse into a hot corner. Energy saver is set to 3 mins as is system sleep. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. i have included a PMSET -G result but don't really understand it. Many thanks. (Mac Mini, 2.5Ghz intel, 4GB RAM, 10.7.5)

To debug this, you'll need to open terminal.app and look at the power assertions log. It's pretty verbose, but it really shows what's going on to prevent a sleep from happening.
If you need a smaller set of data to look at, just ask for the current status and not an ongoing log of what's set and what's changing.
You can close the window when you're done with the tools.
