There are several things to check. 1. Are you sure your inputrc is being read? Readline prefers $INPUTRC to the default ~/.inputrc, so type `echo $INPUTRC' and see if one of your startup files directs Readline to a different file. 2. Does typing `bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"' at the bash prompt result in the option being successfully enabled? 3. You can type `complete' at the bash prompt and see if you have any completions defined. I don't think the completion package turns off any options, though.
