Ehrm... isn't a volume pedal a pedal that sends CC7 ???

To Phil: the samples have nothing to do with it.  Every EXS 
instrument should be able to respond to CC7 messages, imo.  It's the 
EXS's resonsibility to turn the volume up or down, regardless of the 
sample being loaded.  Unfortunately I can't check, since my EXS demo 
expired and the order I placed hasn't arrived yet :).

What you could do for starters is connect a Monitor Object to Logic's 
Physical Input and check to see that indeed controller 7 arrives when 
pressing the volume pedal.  Maybe check the midi channel too...
