Wrong spot... If you're running vista you need to do one of two things:
1. Move your entire WoW directory out of your Program Files directory
-or-
2. Place the addon in: C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons where <name> is your vista login name.
This is because vista use something called "virtual store" which means the OS stores all of the file changes applications make in the program files folder and then redirects them to a different location. This is to prevent an application from having easy access to core system files. However, WoW is an old game, and doesn't really play nice with the VS so you need to either move it to a location that does not have the VS active (like C:\Games, or similar) or you need to manually place the addons in the VS so WoW can see them.

Make sure you don't have an extra folder?
ie. World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/TomTom/TomTom.toc rather than World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/TomTom v2/TomTom/TomTom.toc
