file/local variables (and auctex?)

[thorne <thinly-disguised@spam-sucks.foo>]

Hello.  I am working on a file and in its current incarnation it has a
file variables (first) line that looks like this:

% -*- fill-column: 60; -*- 

and a local variables (last) section that looks like this:

% Local Variables: %
% mode:latex %
% mode:longlines %
% tab-width:5 %
% tex-open-quote:"\"" %
% tex-close-quote:"\"" %
% indent-tabs-mode:nil %
% indent-line-function:insert-tab %
% End: % 

The problem:  latex mode and longlines do turn on and everything works
except setting fill-column and setting the tex open/close quote
string.  C-h v fill-column RET tells me it is set to 68 instead of
60.  Stranger, is that the tex open/close quote string tells me (when
i do C-h v) that they _are_ set correctly... yet when i acually type
a quote in the buffer, it inserts the default tex quotes.  I am
baffled.  Can anyone clue me in on what may be wrong?  

[This is GNU Emacs 22.0.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu... )]

Thanks!
