You can set the 'verbose' option to 1 or higher to see messages about what happens. The mechanism is to look for a writable spell directory. It doesn't create one in ~/.vim for this purpose. Perhaps the plugin should only check for a writable runtime directory, and create the "spell" directory automatically? -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 233.
