Hello its very difficult to see without your code whats going on.. I tried following the example from the validation documentation and the %s worked fine for me, maybee you could cut and copy the code examples, especially the controller in "Callbacks: Your own Validation Functions". Then you can satisfy yourself it works.

the following code also worked for me (slightly modified from documentation)

Code:
function index()

    {

        $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));    

        $this->load->library('validation');

                $this->validation->set_message('required', '%s custom message here');

        $rules['password']    = "required";

        $rules['passconf']    = "required";

        $this->validation->set_rules($rules);

        if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)

        {

            $this->load->view('myform');

        }

        else

        {

            $this->load->view('formsuccess');

        }

    }

views/myform.php

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

  &lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;My Form&lt;/title&gt;

  &lt;/head&gt;

  &lt;body&gt;

    &lt;?=$this->validation->error_string; ?&gt;

    &lt;?=form_open('form'); ?&gt;

      <h5>Password</h5>

      &lt;input type="text" name="password" value="" size="50" /&gt;

      <h5>Password Confirm</h5>

      &lt;input type="text" name="passconf" value="" size="50" /&gt;

      <div>&lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt;</div>

    &lt;/form&gt;

  &lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

resulting in

Code:
password custom message here

passconf custom message here
