If you used a Mac editor to edit .cshrc (or whatever init file you're using), and didn't specifially save the file with Unix line breaks, you may have introduced a stray character that prevents the line from being read. If you do a 'less .cshrc' (or whatever file) and see ^M, that indicates a Mac linebreak character, which doesn't get parsed correctly.
