acpid: lm_lid.sh not being invoked when lid closed after boot

I have acpid in my daemons array and this /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh:

#! /bin/sh

xset dpms force off

test -f /usr/sbin/laptop_mode || exit 0

# lid button pressed/released event handler

/usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto

After booting, closing the lid does exactly nothing. After restarting acpid (# /etc/rc.d/acpid restart), lm_lid.sh is invoked when the lid is closed and my display blanks.

As an ugly workaround I added the restart command as a root cronjob but it still won't work until manually restarting acpid.
