Navbar in Rails layout is not acting responsively using Bootstrap

I'm using a Bootstrap theme (from wrapbootstrap.com) with a Rails application, and the navbar is not acting responsively for some reason. The CSS is working for everything else except the responsive navbar.

With a traditional html file, it works fine but when I include it in a Rails layout (as seen below) it is not responsive and does not show the jQuery drop-down menu you traditionally see aligned to the right.

Here's how I'm including the js and css in the head of my layout, employees.html.erb

  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "scaffolds.css.css", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap-responsive", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap-responsive.min", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap.min", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "main", :media => "all" %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "style", :media => "all" %>

  <%= javascript_include_tag "bigvideo" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "bootstrap" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "bootstrap.min" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery-1.7.2.min" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery-ui-1.8.22.custom.min" %> 
  <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery.imagesloaded.min" %> 
  <%= javascript_include_tag "modernizr-2.5.3.min" %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "video" %>

Here's the navbar html that's in the body:

  <!-- Navbar -->
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top"> 
  <div class="navbar-inner">
        <div class="container">
        <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </a>
        <a class="brand scroller" href="index.html">Company Name</a>
        <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
            <ul class="nav pull-right">
                <li><a href="#" class="scroller" data-section="#about">ABOUT</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" class="scroller" data-section="#process">PROCESS</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" class="scroller" data-section="#team">TEAM</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" class="scroller" data-section="#services">SERVICES</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" class="scroller" data-section="#contact">CONTACT</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>  
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Any thoughts or suggestions regarding why the navbar is not acting responsively based on how the CSS and JS are included is very much appreciated.

Firstly, You don't need to add bootstrap (css and js files) twice, for example:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap-responsive", :media => "all" %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap-responsive.min", :media => "all" %>

In this case bootstrap-responsive is the same that bootstrap-responsive.min but minified.

Secondly, try adding bootstrap responsive after bootstrap, maybe you are overriding some "responsive" styles:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap", :media => "all" %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "bootstrap-responsive", :media => "all" %>

Hope this helps!
