/etc/bash.bashrc is sourced from /etc/profile .

from man bash :
Konsole output
      When bashis invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a 
non-interactive shell with the --loginoption, it
       first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if 
that file exists.

Verfiy your /etc/profile and are you sure you are running the command 
from an interactive login shell ?
