kpowersave-svn rev 3162 bug

Hi,

I'am running arch linux with kernel 2.6.25.4 kpowersave svnrev 3162 and hal 0.5.11 on a vaio vgn-c2z.
Kpowersave doesnt recognize when i plug or unplug my ac adapter during 
runtime. If ac adapter is plugged in or out before boot it gets recognized. I thing it has something to do with
how kpowersave is query that information from hal. Please tell me about 
any further informations you may need.

log from kpowersave if run from console
