getting acpi to handle tablet mode

hi guys i have a fujitsu t902 and i've been stumped for the last while trying to get acpid to flip my screen around when i set it into tablet mode. acpi_listen shows the event, but whether I put the action in its own file in acpid/actions or just append the handler.sh script, i get zero results. the script is read, but xrandr and xsetwacom are not executed.

the relevant bits from /etc/acpi/handler.sh

...
    video/tabletmode)
        case "$4" in
            00000001)
                echo "on" > /var/log/tlbt
                logger 'TLBT on'
                xrandr --verbose -o inverted  >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Pen stylus" Rotate half  >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Finger touch" Rotate half >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Pen eraser" Rotate half >> /var/log/tlbt
                ;;
            00000000)
                echo "off" > /var/log/tlbt
                logger 'TLBT off'
                xrandr --verbose -o normal  >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Pen stylus" Rotate none >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Finger touch" Rotate none >> /var/log/tlbt
                xsetwacom -v set "Wacom ISDv4 101 Pen eraser" Rotate none >> /var/log/tlbt
                ;;
            *)
                logger "ACPI action undefined: $4"
                echo "na" > /var/log/tlbt
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
...

/var/log/tlbt just reads "on" or "off", so I know the switch-case is working right.
