Are you "overwriting" the org files that come with your distribution of
emacs?  If you are, I think that is asking for trouble.  I would
recommend to install to a separate directory, maybe somewhere in your
home if you are the only user or somewhere in /opt/ if you want it to be
available to other users.

Your setup looks ok other than my comments above.

Something is wrong with your emacs installation.  That should not
happen.  You should get an output like below.

/path/to/org-mode/lisp/org-version hides /path/to/emacs/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/org/org-version
/path/to/org-mode/lisp/ob-screen hides /path/to/emacs/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/org/ob-screen
/path/to/org-mode/lisp/ob-css hides /path/to/emacs/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/org/ob-css
...

Hope this helps,
