My Vim plugins (installed with Vundle) aren’t loading

I'm trying to install the vim-scala and vim-sensible plugins using Vundle. I followed the directions here: https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim

In my ~/.vim directory I have: a folder named 'bundle' with a Vundle.vim directory I downloaded from the tutorial.

In my ~/.vimrc I have:

set nocompatible
filetype off
" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

Plugin 'tpope/vim-sensible'
Plugin 'derekwyatt/vim-scala'

" All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required

Then I open Vim, type 

:PluginInstall

and my plugins are shown to be successfully installed. However, when I open Vim again, nothing changes.

Edit: I should note that I had the same problems using Pathogen, so I don't think this is a bug in Vundle.

Edit: My .vim and .vimrc are in /root/.vim; I am running on Linux.

Do you have set nocompatible and filetype off at the start? That's required too. Other than that, open up an issue at github with roughly this content if you think this is a bug. - Cubic
@Cubic, I apologize, I do have those. Edited my post. - jeffrey
Just to check: Your plugins actually end up in '~/.vim/bundle'? I'm assuming you run on linux or osx? - Cubic
Correct, after the installation, the plugins are seen in ~/.vim/bundle. I am running on 14.04 Linux - jeffrey
What is the output of "set rtp" (it will print your runtimepath, and it should include entries like "~/.vim/bundle/vim-sensible/..." and so on. - user197015

According to the asker jeffrey, he resolved his problem. His plugins were loading, but he just did not realize it, because the plugins were not changing any obvious, visible Vim settings.
