Abbie --
It works fine for me -- \ll runs LaTeX and BibTeX and generates the BBL
properly. (however, there was one \end{figure} that wasn't commented out
in the TeX you sent, but you said you just now commented those out, and
so that wouldn't be the source of the problem)
I'm starting to suspect that vim isn't picking up your path the way it
should (though I'm not sure why it's not having trouble running latex).
Are you using vim, gvim, or MacVim? I know you're running a Mac, and
there are lots of different ways to run vim on a Mac.
Inside vim (however you run it), can you type
:!which bibtex
That is, the "colon" puts you into command mode, then the exclamation
point will cause vim to run "which bibtex". You should see something like...
/usr/bin/bibtex
and then be prompted to press ENTER to continue. If you instead see
something like "which: no bibtex in (...)", then vim isn't importing
your path properly (in MacVim, you have to turn on a special option use
login shells so that commands run from vim are setup with your path).
