Have a look on your setting of:

,----[ C-h v ispell-parser RET ]
| ispell-parser's value is tex
| 
| Documentation:
| *Indicates whether ispell should parse the current buffer as TeX Code.
| Special value `use-mode-name' tries to guess using the name of `major-mode'.
| Default parser is `nroff'.
| Currently the only other valid parser is `tex'.
| 
| You can set this variable in hooks in your init file -- eg:
| 
| (add-hook 'tex-mode-hook (function (lambda () (setq ispell-parser 'tex))))
| 
| Defined in `ispell'.
`----

Be sure to use the right hook.

Additionally, the line

    (require 'ispell)

ahead of your (setq ispell-tex-skip-alists ...) statement might be necessary.

Hope this helps,
Holger
