Does it work when you use

        /bin/ls --color=auto /bin
        /bin/ls --color /bin

manually and directly?

My manual page explains:

        With --color=auto, ls emits color codes only when standard output is 
connected to a terminal. The LS_COLORS environment variable can change the 
settings. Use the dircolors command to set it.

There is a chance that LS_COLORS hinders ls, it's also possible that in *shell* 
buffer standard output is not connected to a terminal. The latter seems to be 
true for me on Mac OS X (10.6.8, Snow Leopard). So by omitting the "=auto" 
should make your aliases work.
