I think your X server is configured wrong. See the FAQ:

Title:
  xscreensaver doesn't enable DPMS

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev with xscreensaver 5.15-2ubuntu1. The
  configuration menu xscreensaver-demo provides under the register
  Advanced the option "Power Management Enable". But this option doesn't
  enable DPMS (xset -q says "DPMS is Disabled") so the screen can never
  go in the standby mode. The only way to get it work is to call xset
  +dpms.
