I'm not exactly sure what I have to check in the contents of my pathogen.vim I've used curl -L to download it from github into my autoload directory so I suspect it to be valid. I'll try to find out if anything is wrong with the file.
I've done a vim -u NONE and after that :source ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim
after that I've typed :scriptnames and the second entry showed me that pathogen.vim was loaded. I ran :execute pathogen#infect() and it didn't show me any errors. However, I still couldn't use NERDTreeFind it said not an editor command. Seems like the errors have dissapeared after sourcing pathogen.vim but it still doesn't seem to recognize any plugins.
Okay, so I've started vim regularly and typed :scriptnames and this is what it showed:
1: /usr/share/vim/vimrc
2: /usr/share/vim/vim74/debian.vim
3: /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syntax.vim

I'm still quite new to vim entirely, what would be the next step to check?
I suspect these may be giving you problems. Do these modify the
runtimepath at all? Does your configuration start working if you comment
these lines out? What's in those files?
> :set rtp? shows me the following:

Try again with ":verbose set rtp?" to see who set it last.
