I've tried to set the keys with gconf-edit. The keys where set correctly
but they didn't work.

I've deleted all my .gnome* and . related files to gnome in my homedir.
After a reboot I had to set all my keybindings again. (and all other
settings too). After that my multimedia keys worked perfectly. I guess
it's a conf problem. But I didn't find the correct conf file.
