      Nothing springs to mind.

      I suppose that is possible, but I still suspect some sort of 
conflict between the scripts.  I would look closely at the parts of the 
two scripts that, when deleted, lead to a working system.  Do things 
start working as soon as you delete ANY plugin (such as the standard 
ones, in $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/ )?
