We have a few Win XP sp1 clients that are hanging during
the "applying software policy" portion of the bootup. We
apply the WUAU22.msi package via group policy and also
change the windows update properties via group policy, so
that clients get updates from our local SUS server. I
understand that SP1 installed the windows update service,
so shouldn't the machines just go past the wuau22.msi
package install since they already have the software?
Any help would be appreciated.

Not necessarily. Was the WU 2.2 client installed with XP SP1? Or was it a
previous version of the WU client?

You could probably tell the answer by trying to run the WU 2.2 setup
executable on such a computer manually [instead of through a push] and see
what happens.
