Always use sudo visudo for this.

Update: see Rob1n's post for a better way to do this using /etc/sudoers.d

Just going right ahead and editing it can be extremely dangerous; messing up the file on a limited permissions system like the N900 can cause brickage.

You probably want to add the command to the sudoers file and then have

echo "" && sudo echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

as your DCE script. We begin with echo "" as DCEW doesn't like getting no output.
