Instead, you can try as:

...   
 <frontend>
        <routers>
            <customer>
                <args>
                    <modules>
                        <company_modulename before="Mage_Customer">Company_Modulename</company_modulename>
                    </modules>
                </args>
            </customer>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
...

And create a controller class:
app/code/[codePool]/Company/Modulename/controllers/AccountController.php
with the following code:

require_once 'Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php';
class Company_Modulename_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
{
    public function createPostAction(){
        die('Overriden');
    } 
}
