What shell are you running? (echo $SHELL or echo $0) Hmm oh wait, I see you're running bash-2.05. I was going to suggest that you might be running tcsh or csh where you'd use "set" rather than export.
Can you check /etc/passwd to confirm that your user account has bash as its shell (/bin/bash) -- just because you're seeing bash when you login, doesn't necessarily mean that its your shell (its a bit complex). Can you also check /etc/profile and /etc/.login, just to see if there's anything there that might be affecting things? Finally, if you're using bash, I'd probably use .bashrc rather than .profile.
