Like Steven, I leave my sharpening until after everything else. In fact I usually put the shapened image on a separate layer and then I can fade or mask if there are areas that I don't want to sharpen, eg if I shot with a large apreture to throw the background out of focus or added a little blur to soften skin tones in portaits.

CS2 has a "bicubic sharper" algolrithm as well which I think is supposed to avoid this.
