One problem might be that the user trying to execute this script might
not have privileges on your X display.  When I wanted to do X stuff
from my acpi scrips, e.g. display switching, I had to add these lines
at the top:

export DISPLAY=:0.0
export XAUTHORITY=/home/hess/.Xauthority

Something like this might help.  Judging from other messages in this
thread, it sounds like you might have additional problems, though.
