I may be using a different version (2.2) of Postfix than you
but here it works if I omit the "cidr:" prefix:

# cat mynetworks
127.0.0.0/8             loopback
192.168.0.0/16          RFC1918
<snip>
# postmap cidr:mynetworks
postmap: fatal: dict_mkmap_func: unsupported dictionary type: cidr:  Is
the postfix-cidr package installed?
# postmap mynetworks
# grep mynetwork main.cf
mynetworks = cidr:/etc/postfix/mynetworks
        permit_mynetworks,
