Have you tried mixing some of your pellets into a powder and then marinading some cucumber, zucchini etc This way they might recognise the taste of the meat but may also be enough to ween them into eating some of the vegatable flesh. Worth a try if anything.
 
Here is what Planet Catfish says about the feeding of clowm plecos:

A wood-eating fish, the tank should be decorated with several different types of driftwood. These fish really like to have something to chew on and squash, cucumber, and other vegetables should be readily available to them (yams are a favourite). Supplement two to three times weekly with frozen foods.
