Your description misses at least one step from the official how-to.
May be worth checking:
Start and Enable the SQM scripts. To do this, choose System → Startup
Click Start to start the SQM process
Click Enable to start the SQM process when the route reboots
The how-to is here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sqm
The original qos-scripts definitely required that step. IIRC, it's an
openwrt convention that installing a package doesn't automatically
enable its startup script. However this wasn't strictly necessary for
at least some drafts of the sqm code. I don't know if the current
version needs it or not.
