Your eval quoting is slightly different than mine - maybe that's it?

if [ -f "${HOME}/.dircolors" ] ; then
  eval "`dircolors -b ${HOME}/.dircolors`"

  alias ls='ls --color=auto -p --append-exe'
  #   --color=auto  colorize ls listing
  #   -p            add "/" to directory names
  #   --append-exe  append .exe if cygwin magic was needed

  alias grep='grep --color=auto'
  alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'
  alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
fi
