Those rims WILL work with Vee brakes, they are confused.

from Sun's website:http://www.sun-ringle.com/ShowRoom/M.../rhynomtb.html

Use: clydesdale riding and racing, touring and dual-slalom.
Benefits: Brushed brake track, triple-hollow construction with nickel plated brass eyelets. One of the best all-around rims ever made. The rim that put DH where it is today.
Why would they specify a "brushed brake track" if it's not intended to be a braking surface.

Also, check out their disc specific rims. The rim profile is such that prohibits the use of a rim brake. The Rhino Lite rim profile DOES allow for a rim brake.
