Did you press both keys simultaneously? TAB-down n-down n-up TAB-up
Did you list Hyper_L as a modifier?

Put something like:

clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5

! In order of bits: 
add    Shift   = Shift_L     Shift_R
add    Lock    = Caps_Lock
add    Control = Control_L   Control_R
add    Mod1    = Alt_L       Alt_R
add    Mod2    = Num_Lock
add    Mod3    = Super_L     Super_R
add    Mod4    = Meta_L      Meta_R
add    Mod5    = Hyper_L     Hyper_R     

in your ~/.xmodmap
