Check your errorlog. Here's a couple things you should see:

[PRONE_TO_RAGE] should be PRONE_TO_RAGE:x. The number is required.
   [GRASSTRAMPLE_45] should be [GRASSTRAMPLE:45]. The underscore makes it a token.

Bah. Syntax errors are the WORST in a format where you can't actually get reliable feedback on where you fucked up. Cause I definitely didn't get anything, like, at all, in the error log. Including an error log.

EDIT: While I'm here. Any way to give certain civs access to different mounts and/or domesticated animals than others? For example, suppose I wanted the dwarves to be able to ride Rhinos, but keep them away from those filthy filthy elves. I scoured the wiki but found no pertinent information.

It's errorlog.txt in the same folder as your dwarf fortress executable. There is most certainly one.

Right now there are only 5 options for what creatures a civilization has access to.
1)Normal animals only (no special tags so all civs have access to these if they can use animals)
2)All normal animals in their area [USE_ANY_PET_RACE]
3)Good animals [USE_GOOD_ANIMALS]
4)Evil animals [USE_EVIL_ANIMALS]
5)Cave animals [USE_CAVE_ANIMALS]

As such the only way to have one civilization have access to an animal and not others is to ensure that the animals fits into one of those categories and then ensure that the civ you want to have it has the desired token but the others don't. So if you made a rhino a good animal and then made it so only your civilization has the good animals token then they would be the only ones to use rhinos.

So in short: Yes, it's possible but extremely difficult, very work-around-y, and can only be done a few times before you run out of tokens to do it with, as well as being able to break immersion by confining rhinos underground and elephants to good areas for example.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

And I assure you, you won't be the only one jumping all over it when it happens.
