Partition pruning on datetime columns is only supported for the functions TO_DAYS() and YEAR(). It is stated in the manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-pruning.html

I have submitted a feature request to add DAY() and MONTH() to this list. Not sure if it will every get implemented. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45350

I got round this by adding an additional column to store month as an integer value. It makes the table slight bigger and the queries a bit more complicated, but I couldn't think of another way to do it.
