Not able to give apps root access?

So I've rooted my Hero, flashed a custom ROM, flashed a custom kernel, and then I downloaded some root-requiring apps (namely setCPU and Wifi Tether). However, whenever I open these apps, they do not ask me for Superuser Permissions!

For example, when I open setCPU, it says "No root access detected. Are applications allowed access to root? Operating in read-only mode."

How do I fix this?
 
Let's start by making sure you have USB Debugging Enabled.

Are you still able to boot into Recovery?

Yes, USB debugging IS enabled. And yes, I CAN boot into recovery mode at any time by holding home + power.

Also which rom did you flash?

I am using nfinite's deodexed stock ROM, which comes with Superuser v2.2.2.
