Sorry about the uninformed suggestions here. Gnome terminal is not a 
login shell by default (unless you change that setting), so it should 
not be sourcing .bash_profile.

It is sourcing ~/.bashrc on my system, so you should try to see if there 
is something wrong with the file. If you replace it with a small file 
like "export THIS_IS_WORKING=1", does that work? Does it work when you 
start bash from in the terminal? Does the script show up when you start 
bash --verbose?
