[SOLVED] Binding volume control keys in Ratpoison. What could be the..

I'm trying to bind my volume control keys and a lock screen hotkey in .ratpoisonrc
I'm binding the volume control keys to the special hotkeys on my keyboard, and the lock screen to Windows+l
but for some reason, the keys don't bind and the volume control and locking don't work.

here is my config file:

unbind c
bind c exec urxvt -fg Black -bg White -rv
bind f exec firefox
definekey top XF86AudioLowerVolume amixer set Master 5%-
definekey top XF86AudioRaiseVolume amixer set Master 5%+
definekey top XF86AudioMute amixer set Master toggle
definekey top s-l slock

Do you know what could be the problem?

EDIT:

I've found out the cause of the problem, before "amixer" I didn't type in an "exec" for example:

definekey top XF86AudioLowerVolume exec amixer set Master 5%-
