Hi!

I don't use GNOME, but I hope I can help you anyway.

First of all, check the gnome screensaver is really running. For
instance, from a terminal window try to run:

 ps -fe|grep gnome-screen

If it is running, try to run the following command from a terminal window:

gnome-screensaver-command --lock


Best,
