$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim (current version, 2008 Dec 08) includes the
following at lines 2419-2421:

With an exclamation mark after :runtime, it will source every *.vim file
in the ftdetect/ subdirectory of every directory in 'runtimepath'. This
is done after "normal" filetype detection. So:
1) Is ~/Projects/vim-rack (without an ending slash) in your
'runtimepath' option? (Not its ftdetect subdirectory.)
2) If standard filetype detection finds a different default filetype,
you set it using ":setlocal filetype=rack", not ":setfiletype rack",
don't you?
Best regards,
Tony.
