Are you using RedHat 6.1? I ran into this problem myself in RedHat 6.2. =)
(from the Bash FAQ)
F6) Why can't I use vi-mode editing on Red Hat Linux 6.1?
The short answer is that Red Hat screwed up.
The long answer is that they shipped an /etc/inputrc that only works
for emacs mode editing, and then screwed all the vi users by setting
INPUTRC to /etc/inputrc in /etc/profile.
The short fix is to do one of the following: remove or rename
/etc/inputrc, set INPUTRC=~/.inputrc in ~/.bashrc (or .bash_profile,
but make sure you export it if you do), remove the assignment to
INPUTRC from /etc/profile, add
set keymap emacs
to the beginning of /etc/inputrc, or bracket the key bindings in
/etc/inputrc with these lines
$if mode=emacs
[...]
$endif

no arrow keys worked
home and end (still) don't work
<esc>k,j,l,x... don't work

tried: set -o vi after running your script. didn't help
