You have CX status, and it's AA's obligation to follow their own procedures to allow you to book the seats you want. I consider it to be lazy for AA to try to blame CX--as if the AA agent would even know what "CX are telling" the AA computer, it's not like she can see what interactions are happening on the backend anyway! Seriously...
I am having a similar problem with my AA PLT status on BA. When I made my booking I was only AA Gold, so could not assign seats. I am now PLT, but when I call BA they do not recognize my new status. They even called AA and the person from AA said I was still Gold . . . I wonder if this is system upgrade related.
