Hi, I asked the question back on the 11th March 2012 without a reply!! and ask it again now "Why is it still not possible to use the tethered capture option with a Canon T3i/600D"?
Because it hasn't been implemented.
I note that the
Canon EOS 5D Mark III — introduced with release candidate 1 (March 29, 2012)
Canon EOS 60Da
are both included now but for the consumer who cannot afford 5D Mk IIIs Adobe have left them at the starting line.
The 5DIII is NOT supported by the tethering module yet:

I suspect the 60Da is (even though it isn't on the list) because it's just a 60D with a different IR filter and some different software. It might not be, however, due to the different software.
There must be thousands of 600D/T3i owners who have also purchased Lightroom 4 and feel a little frustrated.
I suspect very few owners of the Rebel series are desperately in need of tethered capture.
Yes, I no you can use the Canon software to access tethered capture but I own L/R 4 and would as a customer of Adobe prefer to use this option in L/R.
Frankly, I'd rather use the Canon software than Lightroom even if it were supported within LR. LR doesn't allow you control over any camera functions and it doesn't allow you to use LiveView. It's just a remote shutter release with auto-import.
