/usr/bin/dircolors is run out of /etc/bash.bashrc to setup the LS_COLORS environment variable. From memory /etc/bash.bashrc is run before any individual .bashrc file.
If nothing is working. ie. ls ps df etc. I would guess that your PATH environment variable has been blown away. What does echo $PATH return? echo should work as its a shell builtin. Also trying prepending the full pathname to ps (/bin/ps) or ls. Mark.
