Are you using the Source-enabled version of the editor? By default, the FCKeditor is run from a compiled version; updating files in _source won't effect any change unless you turn on the source version of the code. This is switched by copying out the fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html file with the fckeditor.original.html file.
