Which version of code are you running ?
I am not familiar with Nexus switches but i have just checked the config guides and there are limitations with CoS marking eg.
v4.x code only allows marking CoS on egress ports (so no use to you)
v5.x and 6.x code do allow ingress marking but only if there are no set commands for the same packet on egress.
So which version are you running ?
