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.
