Maya's shelf is finicky and sometimes you have to click away from it or just wait, and it'll eventually show up. I've had shelf items pop up as late as several minutes after they were added, others will pop up instantly.

It should be "control + shift" and then click the item you want to add. Do this, then try changing your shelf to something else, then back to the shelf you were on when adding the item.

Not sure for actions but have you tried middle-mouse drag to shelf?
