snipMate not working

Hi

installed snipMate in .vim directory

created a test.html file

tried snippet triggers but nothing happens when I hit the tab key

Running linux mint debian additon

When it didn't appear to be working I tried the following:(testing after each change)

purged all vim files including config then re installed vim

copied in known working version of snipmate from a colleages pc with the same operating system

tried running it under a new user account

checked server encoding was utf8

No joy

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance
