I have both:

Most likely this is because another setting is affecting the file you open.

With so many different places properties can be set it's often difficult to track down exactly which one has precedence. This problem is similar to CSS in which styles can be overridden by other style sheets. Just to add to the growing list of feature requests, can something like Firebug's CSS browser be implemented for .tm_properties?

Here's a screenshot for anyone who's unfamiliar with Firebug. In the actual tool you can mouse-over the filename to see the full path. For a TM equivalent you could replace the HTML tags with applicable scope names.
