I checked this also, and it also wasn't working.  Then I realized what
the problem was.  I had done a :cd (actually a :lcd) to
/some/directory and opened the file without the full path, so the
match wasn't working.  When opening with the full path, set syn worked
fine.  Now the question is, how do I get this match to work without
the full path?
