First of all can you confirm your .bashrc setting is working.?

in the terminal
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
echo $BIBINPUTS
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and also can you check what is the value of BIBINPUTS in emacs.? Within Emacs
evaluate the following (either in scratch buffer or with key press `M-:' or
with `M-x eval-expression')

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(getenv "BIBINPUTS")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you don't get what you set in your .bashrc, means the shell in Emacs is not
getting BIBINPUTS variable.

May be the last resort would be setting the variable within your .emacs

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setenv "BIBINPUTS" ".:$HOME/bib:")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

BTW how you are starting emacs? (command line or gui mouse click?)

Thanks.,
