Sounds like you've solved it already - but the 'trick' with earlier versions of Elements is to add an Adjustment layer (e.g. Levels) - which do have a layer mask associated with them. Just leave the adjustment alone (i.e. don't make any changes), but 'clip' the adjustment layer to the layer you want to apply the mask to and use the mask associated with the adjustment layer just as you would if it was for the image layer itself.
Hope that helps too.
Cheers,
Dave.
