You also need to enable ERC autojoin mode either via customizing
`erc-autojoin-mode' variable or adding (erc-autojoin-mode t) to your
configuration file.

To do that, I use this code snippet borrowed from Michael Olson (many
thanks to him):

,----
| (defun my-erc-after-connect-stuff (server nick)
|   "Authenticate to various NickServ's and the like upon
| connecting to the server of their jurisdiction."
|   (interactive)
|   (cond
|    ((string-match "\\(localhost\\|onosendai\\)" server)
|     (erc-message "PRIVMSG"
|                  (concat "&bitlbee identify " my-bitlbee-password)))
|    ((string-match "freenode\\.net" server)
|     (erc-message "PRIVMSG"
|                  (concat "NickServ identify " my-freenode-password)))
|    ))
|
| (add-hook 'erc-after-connect 'my-erc-after-connect-stuff)
`----

Obviously, you need to adapt it to your needs.

Oh, and you will surely find useful the documentation about ERC hosted
on emacswiki:
