It works because dash is the default /bin/sh in Edgy and the scripts
that change the brightness depends on let that is not implemented in
dash.

Try this:
sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.bak
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
Then try to change brightness in g-p-m. If it works by hand but not when
you unplug AC... it's AC event problem and you should wait until the
first battery event happends.

Thanks Pedro,
That worked although it would be good to know why.

This is a clarification on my previous post. On a sony vaio vgn-fs790,
whats strange is I cannot set the brightness using the settings on
gnome-power-manager. However, I can explicitly set the brightness by
running (as root):
echo 1 /proc/acpi/sony/brightness
(for maximal dimming)
echo 8
It looks like this is more generic regression on multiple Sony laptops.
See duplicate bug 67074 where the problem is on Sony FJ170 .

I can confirm this behavior on a sony vgn-fs790. It worked fine on
dapper

Just for completeness, running gnome-power-manager --no-daemon
--verbose, I get:
