As more information, I looked at the rvm page and I see this there:

  http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

   Only necessary the first time, put the following line into your
   profile at the very end, after all path loads etc...
  if [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]]  ; then source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" 
; fi

 And later in the installation instructions:

   Now add the sourcing line to your profiles:
   for profile in .bash_profile .bashrc ; do echo 'if [[ -s 
"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]]  ; then source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ; fi' >> 
$HOME/$profile done

Note that it is talking about your profile and not your bashrc file.
