No. Since the weapon does not hit, effects that only occur on a hit (namely, Carsomyr's Dispel) do not come into play. You can swing Carsomyr until the cows come home and never do a damn thing if your taget has enough PfMWs and/or Absolute Immunities.

But Carsomyr's Dispel Magic 3x/day, however, can penetrate PfMW. But it doesn't always work: Since it's a spell, it can be blocked by SI:Abjuration, and it also has to take into account the caster's level: I don't know what level Carsomyr's Dispel casts at, but let's say it's 20. If the Mage who cast PfMW is also Level 20, then the Dispel Magic has only a 50% chance of dispelling the PfMW.
