I think you are better off working from the second tutorial plugin - color, rather than the skeleton or now plugins, which are extremely basic.
Reread the section on Patterns ... http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:tutorial#patterns
You are defining a syntax mode with an entry and an exit. So you must use the corresponding pattern functions, addEntryPattern() and addExitPattern(), not addPattern(). As the documentation says, addPattern represents "special syntax applicable to the plugin that may occur between the entry and exit patterns".
