I have the exact same problem. My iPhone 4 is about 3 weeks old and the volume controls on the head phones has not worked ever. First day I got it I tried 3 pairs of head phones and none of them work. It's definately the phone.

I have a 3GS and have the same problem. Just received new earbuds and still have the problem. I plan to upgrade to 4S as soon as local store gets them in. I might get this one fixed/replaced while I'm in the store to upgrade.
P.S. The $60 I spent on AppleCare was money well spent.
Is your phone locked in portrait orientation? I've found that for some reason my controls will not work when my portrait orientation is locked.
Try double-clicking the main button, and then sliding your thumb right. You should get some controls at the bottom of your screen, and the button on the far left is the Portrait Lock button. Try unlocking your phone, and see if your earbuds will then work.
I was having the same problem, but this seems to have fixed it.
Hope that might help!

Thanks nitemayer17, your solution helped me. Actually in my situation portrait orientation lock was NOT engaged at all and the volume buttons on the headphone weren't working. What I did was to engage the orientation lock and disengage it afterwards. Now volume buttons seem to be working without an exception.
