Are you using vim-pathogen or Vundle or NeoBundle? If not, the
~/.vim/bundle directory probably won't be seen by Vim.

I hope someone else can help with this part; I'm not sure why the color
scheme would look correct when Vim doesn't see it. Are you running Vim
in a terminal -- and if so, is that terminal set to use Solarized (i.e.
even outside of Vim)? If so, it might be that you're just seeing the
default Vim color scheme, but it's being filtered through the terminal's
own color settings.

Not sure about this either.
