You can use also xbindkeys -k (may be better than xev)
On ubuntu i have Mod4 == Mod4 + Super_L
So Mod4 + l is ==> Mod4 + Super_L + l
But i tried the same command than you and it didn't work.
I tried also with a script launching that command and it fail.
The command or the script work in a terminal.
I tried also with "xterm -e \"emacsclient -e \"(emms-pause)\"&"
And it fail also.
