I doubt this is your issue, but just in case...
Does it only fail to do the "Off" part or is it not doing any of the
three?
I got tired of cats and random vibrations waking my monitor up, so I
added the below to my startup programs:
>cat xscreensaver-mouse-disble.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# This watches for transitions of `xscreen saver` and disables the
mouse when it turns on
# and enables the mouse when it wakes up. This stops the mouse from
waking the monitor.
#
my $blanked = 0;
open (IN, "xscreensaver-command -watch |");
while (<IN>) {
if (m/^(BLANK|LOCK)/) {
if (!$blanked) {
system "xinput --set-prop 8 'Device Enabled' '0'";
$blanked = 1;
}
} elsif (m/^UNBLANK/) {
system "xinput --set-prop 8 'Device Enabled' '1'";
$blanked = 0;
}
}
