It works, only not it seems not to work with Natbib. From apacite's manual:
I consider natbib as the de facto standard with which other packages should be compatible. Unfortunately, apacite is still not entirely compatible with natbib. The main incompatibility is that diļ¬erent citation commands are used, so that it is not possible to use the same document with natbib or apacite.
