I figure that there is no harm in putting entries in - and occasionally updating them - but don't hang your entire SEO hat on them!
Kathy | With directory submissions, they are almost always for the purpose of SEO and not clicks.
Think when was the last time you though "I need to find a service, lets look it up in this free directory"
Think about Google what is it: A directory with a powerful search algorithm. I personally don't search a directory to find another directory very often.

Whether they work or not, I think that they have a small effect on your SEO but I think like anything you do a tiny bit of one thing and you will rarely ever get more than a small effect. SEO is largely about consistently applying your strategies where as most people expect a lot from 2 hours of directory submissions.
