It all worked with the sample file. I stripped down the file that I had 
a problem with and found out that it would only work if I loaded babel 
after csquotes (as is the case in the sample file). I don't know if this 
is the expected behaviour but it sort of goes against the recommendation 
in wikibooks "You should place it soon after the \documentclass command, 
so that all the other packages you load afterwards will know the 
language you are using." 
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Internationalization ; about babel).

Well I guess the problem is solved then.


Emacs package from Ubuntu repositories, auctex downloaded from website.
