Parole not disabling xscreensaver during video playback

Hello,

I am runnign XFCE4.8 in Arch with all updated packages.
I use parole to play my media, and recently, I just installed xscreensaver.

In Parole, I have the option to "Disable screen saver while playing movies" checked.
This is confirmed by checking: /home/siam/.config/xfce4/parole/parole-media-player.rc which includes the line: reset-saver=TRUE
However, when playing a video file in parole, xscreensaver is still starting after the "Blank Affter" time in Settings > Screensaver.
Is anyone else observing this behaviour?

Googling this issue seems to indicate this issue was fixed before.
