apmd not suspending

[beavers]

I've got apmd enabled and configured on my laptop to suspend if the battery goes below 10 percent, but when the charge reaches that level, nothing happens.

~# grep apmd /etc/rc.conf.local                                                                                                                                             
apmd_flags=-A -z 10

~# ps aux | grep apmd
root     69378  0.0  0.0   228   952 ??  Ss     9:16PM    0:00.01 /usr/sbin/apmd -A -z 10

~# apm
Battery state: CRITICAL, 7% remaining, 7 minutes life estimate
A/C adapter state: not connected
Performance adjustment mode: auto (1200 MHz)

`apm -z` works flawlessly, so I have no idea why apmd is failing to suspend the system. Anyone else run into this?
