You should have a look at showkey in console, it tells you the keycode
of the key you pressed (wait 10 second to quit). Those are the keycode
used by pbbuttonsd, check that they match your settings
in /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf. I use

LCD_IllumUpKey        = 60 + ctrl
LCD_IllumDownKey      = 59 + ctrl

but you might have other keys.

onAC_CoverAction      = blankscreen

should do it, but you probably already tried that. If that does not
work, you probably want to have a look at your logs.
