When you SET PATH, the new paths you enter replace any SET PATH lines
before it in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  That's the only thing I can think of.
Check your AUTOEXEC.BAT for another SET PATH line.  If there is
another one, simple add on

;C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

to the SET PATH line already in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Hope that helps.
