Magento observer works on localhost and not on the server

I made an observer for category creation and it works fine in localhost (on Mac) and doesn't work fine on the server (Linux).

config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <models>
            <vmo_categorytoattributeoption>
                <class>Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption_Model</class>
            </vmo_categorytoattributeoption>
        </models>
        <helpers>
            <vmo_categorytoattributeoption>
                <class>Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption_Helper</class>
            </vmo_categorytoattributeoption>
        </helpers>
        <events>
            <catalog_category_prepare_save>
                <observers>
                    <vmo_categorytoattributeoption_model_observer>
                        <class>vmo_categorytoattributeoption_model_observer</class>
                        <method>savecategoryobserver</method>
                    </vmo_categorytoattributeoption_model_observer>
                </observers>
            </catalog_category_prepare_save>
        </events>
    </global>
</config>

and this is local/Vmo/CategoryToAttributeOption/Model/Observer.php

class Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption_Model_Observer extends Varien_Event_Observer
{
    public function __construct()
    {

    }

    public function savecategoryobserver($observer)
    {
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        $cat_model = $event -> getCategory();

        $name = $cat_model->getName();
        Mage::log("works: " . $name);
    }
}

and this is Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Vaimo_CategoryToAttributeOption>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Vaimo_CategoryToAttributeOption>
    </modules>
</config>

Do you have any idea what is wrong? Because on localhost it works great, but on the live server it doesn't.

My money is on the fact that your local machine is on Windows/MAC and the server is linux.
on Windows/MAC the file names are case insensitive and on linux they are case sensitive.
You declared the class in your event like this:

<class>vmo_categorytoattributeoption_model_observer</class>

This means Magento looks for the class in the file vmo/categorytoattributeoption/model/observer.php. On windows/MAC it finds it, on linux it does not exist.
To solve it declare the model like this:

<class>Vmo_CategoryToAttributeOption_Model_Observer</class>

Or better yet, in the standard way

<class>vmo_categorytoattributeoption/observer</class>
