Are you setting your view in the ViewRenderer? My guess is no.
Make sure you have the following lines in your bootstrap, sometime after
you initialize your view object:
$viewRenderer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
If you don't do that, the ViewRenderer creates its own Zend_View
instance -- without the custom paths and options you set already.
