Because Mac OS X interprets it as something different. If I see it  
right there is no cmd+opt+} on a French keyboard-layout, there is  
only cmd+} because of the way } is typed ( opt+) )
Either you switch to another layout (preferably US) which will make  
some other things harder for you[1]  or you put the shortcut on  
something self-defined

[1]  I have to admit that I'm a bad person, switched back to German  
layout because it was really uncomfortable for me with the US-layout  
even though I got it memorized fast, it made me slower in typing  
because of the way umlauts and ß are typed and you need them more  
often then you can imagine. When I have to type Japanese or Korean I  
stay with the US-layout as before because there it is strange to use  
the German one
