OS X Mavericks bash_profile paths don't work
After editing the login file you need to either run the source command on the login file or create a new terminal session before the updated environment variables will be available.

For Example:

source .bash_profile


I prefer to use this method of adding to the path. That way, if the file is executed multiple times, $PATH doesn't add redundant paths.

echo $PATH | grep -q -s "${HOME}/bin"
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
    PATH=$PATH:/bin
    export PATH
