I'm not sure I understand your problem.  What's spicctrl do?  Are you saying
that if you unplug power, instead of running powerchange it runs default.sh
(which would probably produce messages like that)?  If so, you must be defining
some other event that invokes default.sh before this one that invokes
powerchange (it certainly looks as though this rule should invoke powerchange).
