Version 1.3.1 (which you had installed) used two XFCE_PLUGINS: "battery" and "brightness". The newer 1.4.0 only uses "power". Since you still have "brightness" in your XFCE_PLUGINS, it's pulling in the only version that supports that, the previous 1.3.0. Try replacing "brightness" with "power" in your XFCE_PLUGINS.
