Hey Ciaran,
as far as I remember you need to call
(require 'org-install)
to make emacs load your installation instead of the default one.
Add it to your emacs config and check out org-version again
Also you might be interesting to use the emacs-package manager which
is a rather new feature of emacs.
Org-mode versions there might be a good compromise between stability
and up-to-dateness. Check here for details
