No ideas about what's wrong with your setup (unless you are testing on a
file different from the short one you posted - see below), but it works
fine here. You can always check whether the setup was effective, using
C-h v org-todo-keyword-faces RET.
One thing that you want to change is to put the local variable section
at the end of the file: emacs starts looking at the end and looks back a
certain distance - 3000 characters by default - and only within the last
"page" of the file, i.e. not above a ^L (formfeed) character.
It should still work for a short enough file like the one you posted,
but once you start adding entries, the local variable section will
soon become invisible to emacs.
