It's either the virtual store of Windows 7 messing with you or you have more than one installation of WoW on your computer.

Right-click the shortcut that you use to launch WoW, select Properties -> Find target.
This should open the correct folder where WoW starts.
Check inside Interface\AddOns to see if what should be there is there.

For the other part check if your addons are actually located under
C:\Users\”yourname”\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\

If they are you've probably installed WoW into \Program Files\ and Windows is trying to 'protect' its users from themselves by not allowing them to mess with files into the \Program Files\ folder and instead mirrors those to the "Virtual Store".

Easiest way to solve this is to cut World of Warcraft out of \Program Files\ and paste it to another location, for example C:\Games\World of Warcraft\
Then copy your addons to the proper subfolder there \Interface\AddOns and update your shortcuts to point to the new location.
