I had the same problem and it has taken me forever to figure it out. Actually, I just figured it out a few minutes ago. I'm assuming that you have a fan page. You would think that it would be s simple task.

Here are the steps:
1. go to edit page
2. go to basic information
3. select username
4. follow the rest of the instructions

This should work for you.

This worked for me. Login to your business page, then go to http://www.facebook.com/username/. Use the form that comes up to select your page and set your username (short link).

If you've been trying to do this from the settings menu, then it will hang and just show loading. That is what I was seeing until I tried the method above.
