Added an hour later--this was because I didn't RTFM. In their devel-faq it's clearly stated that one now uses fbsetbg.

It might have various parameters attached to it. Make sure that the path points to a valid file.
Also, you need to make sure bsetbg is installed on your system. I think it comes with flux, but I'm not sure. Try running it manually from the commandline and see if it works.
