Nov 29, 2016 at 17:11 comment added Eric Towers A way to diagnose why your rules aren't acting on D[V,x] and D[V,y] is to look at FullForm[D[V[x]] and FullForm[D[V[y]], where in the first you will see that the denominator comes from Power[Plus[Power[y,2],Power[Plus[-1,x,\[Mu]],2]],Rational[-3,2]]], i.e. $(y^2 + (-1 + x + \mu)^2)^{-3/2}$. In particular, nothing has an exponent of $1/2$. So either your rules have to be modified to match what will be present, or they need to have parameters, as in the accepted solution.
