ubuntu 16.04 dconf locks don't seem to work

Question

I looked at dconf and locks and I came up with this script to try to enforce screen locking. It doesn't work. I used to have this working under debian but can't seem to get it to work under ubuntu. Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

#!/bin/bash -x
umask 0022
mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/ibus.d/locks
printf "#Defaults set in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/60_charles.gschema.override
#Recompile schemas with:
# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
#Update dconf with:
# dconf update
/org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay
/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-enabled
/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-delay
" > /etc/dconf/db/ibus.d/locks/00-default-screen-lock

printf "[org.gnome.desktop.session]

I had a umask permission problem and I also changed my script to use local.d

#!/bin/bash -x
# login as root to run this.  make sure umask is default setting

mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks

printf "#Defaults set in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/60_charles.gschema.override
#Recompile schemas with:
# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
#Update dconf with:
# dconf update
