Couple of ideas:
First, make sure you change the line where you declare the wiibox. It
should say "mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", screen = s })" by
default (I think). Change the position to left.
According to
this<http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/wibox.layout.align.html>
page,
vertical layouts have a top, bottom, and a middle. So instead of
left/right, you have top/bottom. If you change all of this it should work
(I didn't test it).
