I don't know, maybe you need to call DimmingControl(true) first or
something. Did you manage to find any actual documentation for those
calls?

I guess I should have looked first:

*** begin doc ***
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/Power_Manager/01powermanager/function_group_7.html#//apple_ref/c/func/SetDimSuspendState

Availability

Supported in Carbon. Available in CarbonLib 1.0 and later when
PowerMgr 1.1 or later is present. Available in Mac OS X 10.0 and
later.

Header: Power.h

Carbon Porting Notes

Calling this function on Mac OS X does nothing. Although available
through Carbon on Mac OS X, SetDimSuspendState is unimplemented.
*** end doc ***

The part about being unimplemented in OS X seems significant...:{
