That doesn't look quite right, this looks better:

export TEXINPUTS="./:${HOME}/bibFiles:${TEXINPUTS}"

Then type "echo $TEXINPUTS" in a terminal to see what it says.

I suggest you try one thing at a time.

If the directory where you run these commands from is the same directory
that your files are in it doesn't have to look up the environment
variables.  What happens if you type 'echo $BIBINPUTS' in that
directory?

I wonder if you have another file that is loaded first so that the
~/.profile is not loaded:

$ man bash

"it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if
 that file exists.  After reading that file, it looks for
 ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and
 reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is
 readable."
