I don't think those odor removers really work. They just mask the odor with a more powerful scent. After all, the musty odor you smell has penetrated deep into the wood of the cabinet, and the only way to remove it is to let it diffuse out into the surrounding air.
About the only thing that works for me is long term ventilation of the cabinet. I usually take any musty items outside on dry breezy days and let them air out. This also works for books, magazines, etc.
Eventually the smell will subside, but don't expect miracles. I am talking months and maybe even years for it to disappear completely.
