It seems bitcoin confirmations are taking some extra long time. I would recommend you check the transaction on blockchain website. Once you have over 8 confirmations and wait around 6 hours or so.

This.

But some people might not know that web site.  If you transfer coins to your SR account, you can always go to blockchain.info (over Tor, of course), and search for the receiving address. If it shows the coins, then the transaction is valid and will (usually) show up in your SR account after 6 confirmations.

So if I just sent a few bitcoins to my account and I only have three confirmations on that transaction, I need to wait until it reaches about 8 or so before they'll show up in my SR account? I used blockchain to look up my SR wallet and was able to confirm that it does in fact show the bitcoin transaction having occurred successfully.

The bitcoin wallet functions this way, you can set the minimum number of confirmations before a transfer should be credited to an account, SR has set this value to 7. (in my experience anyways)
