I'm attempting to use snipMate with sql files, however it doesn't seem to work when editing an existing file.

If I create a new empty buffer (no file; e.g. launch gvim from the start menu), and set the filetype to sql (:set ft=sql), it works. However, if I then try to open a sql file (e.g. :e c:\blah.sql) and edit it, snipMate no longer works. What gives!?

Setup:

• gvim
• vim 7.3
• Windows 7
• snipMate 0.84
• Also, I do in fact have filetype plugin on in my .vimrc file.

Apparently if I open an empty buffer, set the filetype to sql, then save to file using w c:\blah.sql, I now have a sql file open AND snipMate continues to work.

Here's a gist of my current .vimrc in case it helps: https://gist.github.com/3946877
