gedit snippet not working on new system

[Wade Smart]

I have these snippets Ive used for years now.
This one is not working.

tab+t = $(date + "%H%M ")
simply puts in the time for me and the other

tab+q = [QUOTE] $0 [/QUOTE]
is for quotes.

I tried creating a new snippet.
I tried importing the one that works from my laptop.
I just copied over the xml file.
Still doesnt work.

When you hit tab+t, you see the t on screen and then the
tab backspaces over it. No time is seen.
