That is because WPA is NOT supported by the CPU version. You'll need a GPU and oclHashcat-plus.

There is no use to try to bruteforce WPA on a CPU, even dictionary attacks are almost useless due to the low speed of a CPU on WPA.
a overklocked Sandy Bridge, Intel 2600K manages to bruteforce about 2000 WPAhashes/s
