That's a most unusual use of quotation marks you've got there. Why
are you quoting the second :?

You've put your hack directory on the root filesystem? I have mine
on /var, since that's mounted rw, while / is ro.

Take out the quotes. I don't necessarily know that that's causing your
problem, but they look really weird in there. If you want to quote your
path, you should quote the entire value, not just a single character,
although it's not necessary to use quotes at all in this case. (Assuming
that your original PATH variable doesn't contain a directory name with
spaces in it, in which case, it would be.)
