Ok, some ideas:
1. 
There seems to be a space before WORK in the "Tags to scan" parameter in
Custom Tag scanning module settings page inside Custom Scan settings. I
don't think this should be an issue if you are using a recent version,
but I know there were a bug related to extra spaces before/after the tag
name in this field in a previous version.

2. 
I assume you have WORK tags in your music files ? If you don't I would
suggest that you replace WORK with ALBUM in the Custom Browse menu
configuration, it's not the same thing but it might work fairly good
temporarily if you don't have WORK tags in your music files.

3.
I suspect that the tags aren't scanned by Custom Scan properly for some
reason, the easiest way to see what kind of tags that have been scanned
is to use the "Custom Scan Statistics" query in Database Query plugin,
this will give you information about the number of each tag that have
been scanned into the database, both by Custom Tag(customtag) scanning
module and by Mixed Tag(mixedtag) scanning module.

In the report you will get lines like:
Number of songs with customtag attributes of type WORK          441   
Number of songs with mixedtag attributes of type WORK           441  

It's the second line which refers to "mixedtag" that is of interest in
the Custom Browse menu template that you are using.

If there is no mixedtag line for either ARTIST, COMPOSER or WORK, this
is the reason why you get empty menus.
The cause for tags not appearing could be:
- That the tags don't exist in the music files
- That the Custom Tag + Mixed Tag scanning modules haven't been
executed. If you have followed the tutorial on the wiki they will be
executed automatically after a SBS/LMS rescan, but you can also run them
manually from the Custom Scan settings page. If you run them manually
it's important to either use the "Scan all" link or run "Custom Tag"
first, let it finish and run "Mixed Tag" as a second step. The "Scan
all" option will run them in the correct order automatically as long as
you haven't reconfigured the scanning order parameter for them.

If you have done the above and it still doesn't work, I would suggest
that you send me a small file which you think should have all the tags
and I'll try it in my own setup. It's possible to enable debug logging
of Custom Scan in SBS Settings/Advanced/Logging but it can be pretty
hard to interpret it, so unless the above ideas solves the problem I
would suggest that you just send me a small music file so I can look at
my own environment instead.
