Rob, are you running a current version of pcb? Both of these methods should
work in the latest release.

Make sure that you have the layer with the plane you want to connect to
selected when you execute the command. Since there could be multiple planes
on different layers, this is how you tell pcb which one you want it to
connect the pin to with a thermal.

When you're shift clicking with the thermal tool, if you release shift and
click again it will turn the thermal off, disconnecting it from the plane.
I suspect that's what happened to you.
