Generally in a major mode you would use something like

(setq font-lock-defaults
  '((inducks-keywords 0 'inducks-keyword-face)
    ...))

rather than font-lock-add-keywords.
I usually only see font-lock-add-keywords used in in
customzation functions such as something put on a mode
hook or in a derived mode.

I didn't look too close at your syntax though.
