I've started using zsh instead of bash because the globbing's so great,
but I'm having one annoying problem with it. When I ssh into my box, my
login script fails. My .zshrc looks like this:

export PROMPT='%~%# '
. .profile

but my logins always start

Welcome to Darwin!
/Users/adavies/.zshrc:.:2: no such file or directory: .profile

The idea is that I want to keep all settings common to bash and zsh in
the same file for maintenance purposes. What's wrong here?

It's because your home directory isn't in your PATH. Which is a good
thing; putting $HOME in $PATH is a potential security hazard. In any
event, the fix is simple:

. $HOME/.profile
or
. ./.profile
