Hmm, why do I get this error?
:help vimball-rmvimball
E149: Sorry, no help for vimball-rmvimball
What am I missing?

1) is the helpfile pi_vimball.txt installed, and where? (It should be in the
doc/ subdirectory of some directory listed in 'runtimepath').
2) Let's say it's in $VIM/vimfiles/doc/ : then you need to run
:helptags $VIM/vimfiles/doc
3) If you have it but it doesn't contain that tag, maybe the tag is named
something else; look near the top of the file for its "table of contents".
4) My version of pi_vimball.txt is in $VIMRUNTIME/doc/ ; its first line says
*pi_vimball.txt* For Vim version 7.0. Last change: 2006 Sep 29
If you want to update your runtime files, download them from the ftp server
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/
The dos/ subdirectory contains the files in "dos" format (with CR-LF ends of
lines); the rest are the same files in "unix" format (with LF only). Download
either pub/vim/runtime/dos or the rest of pub/vim/runtime but not both.
Or if you have the rsync utility, you can also use
rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/
from the top directory where you compile Vim (I use ~/.build/vim/vim70/).
Best regards,
Tony.
