these last two lines are strange. Please run the command with shell 
echo (-x):

  $ sudo sh -x /etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh on

and post the output.

Also, I am not sure how the script interacts with 2.6.30 kernel you 
are using; the kernel shall turn on rfkill on Fn+F2 before the script 
kicks in.
