They work as advertised. Make sure you've assigned the object to the dynamic location and that the #of objects fields and such have the appropriate values for what you're trying to do.

Failing that, I think there is a minor bug (well, not so much a bug, as something that was carelessly overlooked...) in DW that causes objects to spawn at the same DLs in successive startups. I don't know the exact details, but if Fish stops by I'm sure he could explain it in greater detail. What I can say is that the further you move back, the more likely you are to reach a point where the sim "re-rolls" the DLs at misson start instead of using the current "roll." (I think leaving the mission selection screen is the cutoff, but I'm not sure)
