Computer wake commands

I'm a OS X user (MacBook Pro, OS X Lion) and I need it to wake up on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 9:00 AM
on the rest of the days of the week at 7:00

I issue the following commands:

Code:
sudo pmset repeat wake MWRS 09:00:00

for the former

Code:
sudo pmset repeat wake TFU 07:00:00

for the latter


None of these works. Mac simply refuses to wake up.

schedule wake option seems to work but it's not what I need.

What I'm doing wrong?

This is a common problem.

Have you checked the obvious?
