Peter,
Please excuse my ignorance, but how did you manage to get the folder
"/home/root/" when running "ls ~/.bash_profile" as root?
To my knowledge root's home directory should be /root, not /home/root.
For me:
# ls ~/.bash_profile
/root/.bash_profile
Did you create a user by the name "root" ?
George.
