[ACPI-sppt] acpi power event

not sure when this stopped working now...

[Wed Jun 11 14:18:35 2003] received event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080
00000000"
[Wed Jun 11 14:18:35 2003] completed event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080

[Wed Jun 11 14:18:38 2003] received event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080
00000001"
[Wed Jun 11 14:18:38 2003] completed event "ac_adapter ACAD 00000080
00000001"

/etc/acpi/events/power :
# change screen brightness and CPU speed
event=ac_adapter.*
action=/etc/acpi/actions/powerchange

# shut down when power button is pressed
event=button/power.*
action=/usr/local/sbin/halt-dialog

/etc/acpi/actions/powerchange 
#!/bin/sh
status=`sed "s/state: *//" /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state`
case $status in
        "on-line"       )       /usr/bin/spicctrl -b 255
                                exit 0
                                ;;
        "off-line"      )       /usr/bin/spicctrl -b 100
                                exit 0
                                ;;
        esac
echo "Something bad happened!"
exit 1

The power button > halt-dialog thing works nicely. If I run
/etc/acpi/actions/powerchange manually, it works properly. But it
doesn't catch the event on a regular basis. Is there a typo in
/etc/acpi/events/power that I'm just not seeing?

thanks,
