We need to see your web.config. How are roles handled? Is the role manager even enabled?

EDIT:
You need to use this format:

User.IsInRole(@"DOMAINNAME\rolename")

You are leaving off the domain name. If that still doesn't work, make sure you've got your role provider set in web.config:

This information comes straight from MSDN. Look at the "Checking Role Membership in Code" section. It's all there.
