Try first 'M-x global-set-key <your keys> global-set-key' and then do 
M-x repeat-complex-command. You now see the code for binding the key, 
C-a and C-k and C-g and you insert it into your .emacs file. Could be 
that either your X server or you keyboard do not support Alt and Meta 
cursor keys. Are you working on a portable? What happens when you press 
the fn key?

(global-set-key [(alt v)] 'yank) works for me. Could be you need to 
change some of your syntax.
