The NIS client must mount the NFS server's version of your home
directory for that to work.  I suspect you're only using the NIS server
for authentication and using the NIS client's local filesystem.  Since
the client's version of your home directory doesn't have those lines,
it won't work.

Log in under NIS and look at your ~/.tschrc file, then telnet to the
server and look at the same file.  I'll bet they're different.
