You are hiding the bottom x-axis. Therefore no label is appearing on the
resulting figure. You may try not hiding it instead just the ticks. Using
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(pylab.NullLocator())
But this causes the vertical grid lines to disappear. Alternatively you can
manually add the xlabel if you are not in batch-producing mode --using your
favorite pdf editor.
I am sure Jae-Jeon has a better explanation for this.
