I don't know exactly what your problem is, but take into account that bash
only appends its (in-memory) history to .bash_history at exit (so while
the shell is active you won't see any changes).
You can force a premature appending of the history to the history file
with "history -a".
See the section "HISTORY" in the bash manual and/or enter "help history"
into any friendly bash in your neighbourhood :-)
