Why not just the following?

      u[x_, y_] := ComplexExpand[Re[Sinh[x + I y]]]
      v[x_, y_] := ComplexExpand[Im[Sinh[x + I y]]]
      {u[x, y], v[x, y]}
   {Cos[y] Sinh[x], Cosh[x] Sin[y]}

For related matters, you might want to take a look at notebook 
CartesianPolarForms.nb on the Files page at:

   http://www.math.umass.edu/Courses/Math_421

That includes examples of using the neat utility functions ReImExpand 
and ToCoordinates and ToComplex from David Park's Cardano2 application.
