Um, this is a no-op. Both of the old ones (and I assume the new one as well)
install as "ath_rate.ko." This means that the last one wins, which will now
be ath_rate_sample (previously it was ath_rate_onoe).
You want to go to sys/modules/ath_rate_{amrr|onoe|sample| and do a 'make
install'.

Hmm. Is ath_rate_sample linked properly?
