I have had more success in using dojo.connect to handle this event and properly apply styles. I haven't used the individual styles as CSS classes are a better way to manage styles. It is better for maintenance because then you don't have individual styles embedded in your JavaScript. Here's a snippet of what works for me. Keep in mind this is on Dojo 1.5.

var grid = dijit.byId('myDataGrid');
dojo.connect(grid, 'onStyleRow' , this, function(row) {                    
    var item = grid.getItem(row.index);
    if (item) {
        if(item.status != "viewed"){
            row.customClasses += " unRead";
        }else{
            row.customClasses += " read";
        }

        if(item.status == "not active"){
            row.customClasses += " dismissed";
        }
    }
    grid.focus.styleRow(row);
    grid.edit.styleRow(row);
});
