as you may have missed, the last thing .bashrc does is check if there is
an /etc/bashrc. This usually is created automatically. In there there's
also a PATH and that is what may override your own path.
Best thing is to put the path in your .bash_profile. Works great for me:

# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:
