Using xrandr in acpi event script

I have a Thinkpad x220t and for automatic Rotation when going into tablet mode i am using the folowing script.

#!/bin/sh

export DISPLAY=$(w -h -s | grep ":[0-9]\W" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}')
X_USER=$(w -h -s | grep ":[0-9]\W" | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
export XAUTHORITY=/home/$X_USER/.Xauthority


SU="su $X_USER -c"

$SU "xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate inverted"
$SU "xsetwacom set 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen stylus' rotate half"
$SU "xsetwacom set 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch' rotate half"
$SU "xsetwacom set 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen eraser' rotate half"
$SU "xinput disable 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint'"
logger "TabletMode activated"

Until a few days everything worked fine. Now i switched from i3 to gnome and the script stopped working. When i run the script as root everything works fine, bit when it is running by acpi the script runs but nothing happens. I cant find any error. journalctl produces the folowing output when converting into tabletmode:
