Thanks, it worked! Actually I was mistaken about the runtime path. I was changing the filetype.vim in the wrong location (in the directory where I untarred and unzipped the files).
I did a ":echo $VIM" to find out the runtime path and it showed that the runtime path was in ~/share/vim/vim70. I edited the filetype.vim in that directory and it worked.
