Rich,

Are you modifying the right DIR_COLORS file?  At least on my
system (F22), there are three:

  $ ls -dl /etc/DIR_COLORS*
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5081 Sep 16 12:01 /etc/DIR_COLORS
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5697 Sep 16 12:01 /etc/DIR_COLORS.256color
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5102 Sep 16 12:01 /etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor

Just to confuse the issue, I have a file ~/.dir_colors where I
make my own modifications to the standard files in /etc.  You
might check to see if you have one of those installed.

Hope this helps.
