I'm assuming that after editing you tried opening a new shell /
re-sourcing the .profile file, and that your .profile is definitely
being read by the shell?

You could check the latter with a simple echo statement in your
.profile. It would also be good to scan through the rest of the file and
make sure that it doesn't source any "standard" Mac TeX setup scripts
later in the file, i.e. things that could just overwrite TEXINPUTS. To
avoid that, you could make the exports above the *last* thing in your
.profile... if that doesn't work, then something else must be overriding
it -- a .bashrc, .bash_profile, or similar, maybe.
