For debugging purposes, you might try first to replace the
“(kbd "<prior>")” with just “[prior]”. If that still doesn't work, at
least you get rid of one possbibility of problem.

Also, simply try to bind something to the PageUp key, e.g.
(global-set-key (kbd "<next>") 'find-file)
and see if your emacs recognize that at all.

What build or platform is your emacs on?

Few monhts ago i tried “Emacs.app” (the emacs build for Mac OS X and
NeXTStep, based on cacoa), it has a known bug that it won't recognize
keybindings on the numerical keypad. The author said he doesn't know
what's the problem or how to fix. (“Emacs.app” has several major bugs
that i couldn't adapt it as my emacs. The oher one is unicode ...)
