Hi,
I had the same problem. I think that the clk0 line is routed through a
dedicated clock routing line(global) and cannot be brought out. The reason
for this I am not sure of yet. But, there isa work around. U could
instantiate the FDDRE ( IOB Double data rate registers) primitive and set
the inputs to the 2 ff(s) in such a way that the output mimic the clock
exactly.

Never mind.  It's a silly mistake on my part.  I had RST tied to RST pin on
the chip.  It should be tied to GND.  Deh.....

I am doing a small experiment with DCM.  I used the coregen to
configure it to use a 100Mhz input clock, and output CLK0 and LOCKED. 
RST is also tied to a pushbutton RESET.  Feedback 1x internal is
configured, and so does the duty cycle correction.  Then I instantiate
the module in schematic, and tie all the port to inport and outport
apprepriately without any IBUF,OBUF or BUFG primitives.  I noticed a
extra pin coming out of the DCM: CLKIN_IBUFG_OUT. I implemented the
design and downloaded to a xc2vp4 FPGA prototype board.  But somehow I
can not get CLK0 to come out. CLKIN_IBUFG_OUT is coming out fine. 
LOCKED is still low.  So it is not locking, and that is why CLKO is
not coming out. But why?  Such a simple design.  Someone help.
