Thank you Vagrant, that led me down the correct path!  I was able to use your suggestion plus a udev config snippet I found in Pierre Neidhardt's Guix config to get backlight controls to work:

https://gitlab.com/ambrevar/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/guix/system/default.scm#L22-30

Regarding xfce4-power-manager's inability to control the backlight, I believe that its polkit policy file has not been picked up by the polkit-service such that it doesn't end up in /etc/polkit-1/actions where it belongs.  I'm looking into submitting a patch to correct this behavior so that future Guixers aren't confounded by that issue as I was.

Thanks!

David
