Then this isn't just a filetype recognition problem.

That's not a good sign.

Here's what I want you to do. Open an outline in vim and perform the following 
two colon commands:

:source ~/.vim/ftplugin/vo_base.vim
:source ~/.vim/syntax/vo_base.vim

Then see if the outline now acts like a VO outline. If not, you have some 
basic problems with the two vo_base.vim scripts. If so, somehow 
filetype=vo_base isn't running those two scripts.
