Which version uim do you use?  If it is 0.4.6, please try following way.

First, check whether your IMs are recognized by uim.
  1. Launch uim-sh in terminal.
     $ uim-sh

  2. Check installed-im-module-list variable.
     uim> installed-im-module-list
     ("pyload" "anthy" "prime" "skk" "tcode" "tutcode" "hangul" "viqr" 
"ipa-x-sampa" "latin" "m17nlib")

  3. If your IMs are shown in the above list, uim side is OK.  In this 
case,
     check whether scim-uim is properly installed.


If the installed-im-module-list doesn't contain your IMs, you need to
modify it.

   If you don't have uim source, add your IMs names to
   'installed-im-module-list' and 'enabled-im-list' in
   /usr/share/uim/installed-modules.scm directly, and also add your IMs
   description to /usr/share/uim/loader.scm.

   If you have the source code and compile uim by yourself, put your IM
   files to uim-0.4.6/scm/ and edit uim-0.4.6/scm/Makefile.in before
   invoking ./configure.
   In Makefile.in, just add your IMs file names to "SCM_FILES", and
   your IMs names to "module_names".  Then installed-modules.scm and
   loader.scm should be generated appropriately during build process.

HTH,
