What version of eeepc-acpi-scripts?  Ever since 1.1.1 all you need to do 
is in /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts set:

LID_CLOSE_ACTION='nothing'

If you run a power manager on your desktop (e.g. gnome-power-manager) 
then you need to configure the lid action there instead, as 
eeepc-acpi-scripts will delegate the lid action to any power manager it 
knows about.
