I would hazard a guess and say that TeXLive is installing a startup 
script for a different shell than you are using.

Is there any reason you need TeXLive? If it's not configuring properly 
then it can be a long, tedious, and complicated process getting 
everything working.

I would highly, stronger, most definitely recommend Gerben Weirda's TeX 
distribution. You can get it by following the instructions in the first 
box here:
<http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/~will/texstart/>

It's designed to install TeX with a minimum of fuss and will almost 
certainly work first time. (unless you've been messing with 
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist...)

Good luck
