In your original code you don't do anything to specify whether or not the current value matches on of the values in the user's current selections--not sure what magic you were expecting.
The <s:checkboxlist...> tag [1] accepts both value and selection choices; it may be sufficient for your needs. If you're going to do the value/checkbox iteration by hand then you also need to implement the logic for determining if it should be checked initially.
