You either haven't done:
source ~/.bash_profile
Or more likely (I'm making an assumption here, as you haven't said) that
you haven't told whichever terminal emulator you use in X to spawn a login
shell. xterms, rxvts support the '-ls' switch for that. This will force
the login shell to read your ~/.bash_profile as per Bash Invokation.
