IIRC, bash != sh, even when bash == sh ;)

It's probably trying to find .profile rather than .bash_profile and
that's the correct thing to do.

If /bin/sh is really an invocation of bash, then details of when it
reads which file are detailed in the bash docs. Behavior also changes
for login shell vs. non-login shell.
