Which exact version/build are you running ? You may have hit the following issue:

http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-3723

If so, then this should be resolved in Community build 2503 or higher. Here is the config change for reference:

svn diff -r18373:18374 projects/repository/config/alfresco/cache-context.xml

As a follow-on, it should be noted that dynamic custom models can be activated via Share. As an admin, navigate to Repository -> Data Dictionary -> Models and then "Edit Properties" (and select "Activate" checkbox) for the appropriate XML model file.

If you're not comfortable editing XML directly then you may wish to also try out the Share Model Manager (new since 5.1)

Content modeling with Model Manager | Alfresco Documentation 

However, please note - this will currently only manage models that were created via the Model Manager itself.

Regards,

Jan
