Hi,
xset does not work with DPMS on my system as well. See http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3114 which is somewhat related.

Greetings all; I have a need to disable dpms and anything else associated with blanking the screen, sometime for around 12 hours.
Our old friend xset has apparently been neutered and incapable to controlling any of this.
So what is silently overriding these user set choices, something in TDE?
Thanks all.

These not working for you?
#!/bin/bash dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock sleep 3 xset dpms force standby -or- xset dpms force off
That forces a dark screen for about 1 second. Even the times set by xset are ignored. Regardless of tde config settings, or xset settings I get a shut down/poweroff, in 5 minutes. Maddening as can be. I have to keep wiggling the mouse to watch a youtube video.
The only thing that overrides the 'standby' above for me is touching a key or moving the mouse.
IMO TDE should get out of the power saving business and let xset do its job. But I'm rowing with a toothpick...
