OK, so we know that DESKTOP_SESSION variable is set and that beryl.sh is
called.
Now, add something in-between the if statement in beryl.sh, something
like this

if [ $DESKTOP_SESSION == "beryl-kde" ]; then
  echo "inside if - before" >> /tmp/log   # <-- new line
  /usr/bin/beryl-manager
  echo "inside if -after" >> /tmp/log     # <-- new line
fi


Make sure beryl-manager is actually at that path, type
which beryl-manager

No problem.  Helping you actually help me remember how to do it. (the
old adage about learning by teaching)
