Are you saying you are not able to see it moving (even a bit), or that you don't seem to see the full width getting really smaller (because it's hard to see the difference between HUGE and HUGE+epsilon)? If the latter, than in fact you CAN resize, and you just didn't try hard enough. The way I made this work is to drag all the way to the left , and than wait a while. After a wait it starts to continually resize, and after some time of doing that it gets back to the normal size. Or just download the last nightly at <http://bibdesk.demokratia.org/ beta> and use Autosize Column, because it now gives a more sensible default size.
