Did you set the variable as a list? 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("x" "No maybe" todo ""
         ((org-agenda-filter-preset '("-maybe"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

BTW, I believe one solution to the original question is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("x" "No scheduled or someday" todo ""
         ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)
          (org-agenda-filter-preset '("-SOMEDAY"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
