IIRC, tcsh doesn't know about .profile. It uses .login instead. Also, the ~
(tilde for $HOME) does not expand within the quotes; you should replace it with
$HOME. So, add

 setenv PATH "$HOME/bin:$PATH"

to your $HOME/.login file and see what happens. You may check the effect with
the command

 echo $PATH
