I am having the same problem.

Actualy if I do "restart acpid" then acpi_listen will detect both keys:
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b

but if I do acpid -l and then acpi_listen it will only detect one key and
with different codes

sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b

I am running Ubuntu maverick.

Anyway .. I made a scipt similar to Tobias (my acpi file for brightness has
a different path.. /proc/acpi/video/OVGA/LCD/brightness) but the system
never calls the file.. maybe because the wrong event code is send.

Any update on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
