Run you script in XTerm to see whats going on first.

Keep us updated.
when using 'Simple Brightness Applet' it sets the brightness to the 5 steps that are now - 2,5,7,10,12 (Very dark ), and to get the "custom brightness" back i have to tab 2 times on keylock (screen off & on) than my custom setting of 160 is active again

again - the 5 low steps are due to disabled ALS else it would be the normal 5 steps that you all use.
