Skype is a bitch if it comes to shaping as it uses any available port IF available and each endpoint can have random incoming connection ports (the incoming port is configurable): http://www.skype.com/help/guides/firewall.html So there is nor real way to set priority for that kind of traffic based on ports (and it's hard to block that kind of traffic too because of that without using a proxy). I'm not sure if it places special TOS fields in the header but that would be your only way then. Try to ethereal the connection and check which flags are set and if they are different from other traffic like browsing, ftp and so on. Then use the flag options for the rules.
You also might try to just run the traffic shaper and assign "prioritize voip" "default low delay" "32 kbit/s" (skype usually uses that amount of traffic). Then view your queues at status>queues and do a call. If you see traffic in the voipqueue you are done as this means that skype sets "low delay" flags.
