Somebody tell me what is wrong?
You are doing the right thing - shaping after bidi works fine. Sounds like your problem is font related. Sounds like the font you are using does not contain any Form-B glyphs and that is why you are seeing empty boxes. Grab the 10x20 on the khoto page and give it another try - it ought to work (for details on how to setup the font, etc - read the README file on Arabeyes' vim project page).
