It works here. The relevant autocmds are :
    *.bash    call SetFileTypeSH("bash")
    .kshrc*   call SetFileTypeSH("ksh")
    *.ksh     call SetFileTypeSH("ksh")
    *.sh      call SetFileTypeSH(getline(1))
    *.env     call SetFileTypeSH(getline(1))
    .tcshrc*  setf tcsh
    *.tcsh    setf tcsh
	 [...]

To get bash syntax highlighting, you can :
- use extension .bash instead of .sh
- put a shebang #!/bin/bash at the beginning of your script
- run manually :cal SetFileTypeSH("bash")

Please note that $() is bash-specific and won't work with most
sh-compatible shells.
