How are you starting dwm? If you are using a display manager (a
graphical login), check on how it logs you in. It is possible it doesn't
start a shell to start dwm, so then the bashrc is never run. I have no
idea how to solve that problem. I think you might try to put that into
~/.profile, but I'm not sure.
I run dwm from startx. So I know all the variables present in the first
shell started from the login will be present in dwm, and therefore also
in dmenu.
