huh. I have no idea why you would need the drupal6 directory there.
the set tags statement is pointed at the file. Seems like that should
make it stop working.
However, you should also try in insert mode CTL-x CTL-o in the middle
of a function, such as hook_a<CTL-x><CTL-o> to get a list of
hook_access, hook_alter, etc, in order to get the autocomplete
functionality. It should drop down a lost of hooks and open a buffer
with parameters for each hook.
