These lines should work, and work fine in my tests.  The only thing
thing is that tex-command is not known to be safe to set in this way, so
when I open such a file, Emacs prompts me to know whether I do want to
apply this setting.  Not sure why you don't see this prompt.  Maybe you
have customized enable-local-variables?
