Ok, so I have a fairly well developed Orc fortress, around 100 Orcs, and I'm very new to the mod (Meph you're doing gods work). Now my military is very well equipped, raiding has been going well and metal production as going as hard as Orcs can make it go. However my Shaman and Dreamwalkers won't harvest souls, and after battles no one takes scalps. I have a metric crap-ton of cut gems, and I have a ton of tannery's and butcher shops. It isn't even from lack of corpses, I have had a few skirmishes with Elves, recently I just won a massive battle against 40 mammoth riding elves. Any help?

They are automatically generated when you butcher a creature with a brain (souls, only intelligent ones have souls), or if you butcher a sapient invader (scalps, anything that equips items). The vanilla butcher reaction does that, creating a scalp. Orcs then have the option to make it a prepared scalp in the tanner, which should be automatic.

Maybe its the burrows bug, or your refuse stockpile is not close enough to the butchery.

Don't know if this is an issue with orcs, having actually never played them, but with dwarves you have to (o)rder them to gather refuse from outside before they'll gather up invaders/animals not killed by a hunter and butcher them. That may also be a factor.

Sure you need to do that.. its the same for all races, and not mod specific. Its a vanilla DF setting.

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll make a close refuse pile and some nearby butcher shops.
