I can't _really_ solve your problem, but:
Might you be running Mandrake?
I believe to have experienced a similar problem with my PS1 variable [command prompt appearance] that would only work if I put the line [PS1=xxx] in my .bashrc file.
Odd, but at least it works.
You could also add a symlink to /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql somewhere in your /usr/bin or $HOME/bin dirs.

Try putting it in ur .bashrc instead of ur bash_profile. I think that should help! As in add this to your .bashrc

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME="root"

export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH
