It does work.  When it was first introduced it was 
/etc/portage/profiles/package.mask for some reason.  Now it's 
/etc/portage/package.mask.

Perhaps yours is still in the old location?  Otherwise I can't see why 
it works for me and not for you.  I don't think there's anything 
special about my box.
