[openbox] keybind problem

Hi all,

I'm having trouble setting keybinds in rc.xml. Specifically I'm trying to
control my mpd server with the multimedia keys. This is what I tried to add
in rc.xml:

<keybind key="XF86AudioPlay">
   <action name="Execute">
      <execute>mpc toggle</execute>
   </action>
</keybind>

Nothing happens. Typing the command in terminal works. Now, the funny thing
is that any other command besides mpc works just fine, for example:

<keybind key="XF86AudioPlay">
   <action name="Execute">
      <execute>sonata pp</execute>
   </action>
</keybind>

Changing the key to another one doesn't make any difference either.
Does anybody have an idea where to start looking for clues? I'm running
ubuntu 9.10 with Openbox 3.4.7.2.

Thanks,

Tapio M. Pitkäranta
