Take a look at your ~/.beagle/Log directory and see if you have any
errors in those files.  Make sure you run beagled with --debug if you
only see "Warn" and "Error" messages in the logs.

The battery setting kicks in following the task the daemon is currently
running.  Usually this takes a couple of seconds, but if there's a bug
where the task is looping tightly forever, it won't ever get there.
