Have you logged out and logged in again after changing /etc/profile?
The changes won't come into effect until you do that.
Also check if you have exported the PATH variable, ie after setting
the PATH variable you must have a line that goes like this:
export PATH, var1, var2, ....
(var1 & var2 are other varibles that have been declared in
/etc/profile.)
Hope that helps,
