Quote from the docs:

---------------------------------------
3.5.10  Cutaway Textures
Syntax:

   difference | intersection {
     OBJECT_1_WITH_TEXTURES
     OBJECT_2_WITH_NO_TEXTURE
     cutaway_textures
   }
---------------------------------------

Mind the "_WITH_NO_TEXTURE": cutaway_textures only works if your 
"cutting tool" has no explicit texture set.
