If xev doesn't report the keypress there's a chance something else has bound that key. Double-check that you don't have other bind directives in your cwmrc file and that no running application may have bound that key. Running a test with xev using an empty .cwmrc and a .xsession consisting of only `exec cwm' could help in ruling out whether the key is really not available for other reason or is 'just' a configuration error somewhere in your .xsession or .cwmrc.
