Well let me tell you, it works here.....   I was just using showkey to try and 
get you the scancodes I am seeing, and I went through the sequence:

alt-sysrq-s
alt-sysrq-u
alt-sysrq-b

and even with showkey looking at the sequences, I got a reboot out of it.

I assume you are using the above sequence.  Should work.
