Bash error every time Terminal is Opened

I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I have rails and RVM set up. Every time terminal is opened, I am greeted with this error:

-bash: /Users/Justin/.bash_profile: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: /Users/Justin/.bash_profile: line 2: `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:(...)'

Here's what's inside .bash_profile:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:(...)
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

I'm quite new to Rails. Although this error message doesn't appear to be interrupting anything, it is quite annoying. How would I go about editing my .bash_profile to stop this error message?

You should change this line

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:(...)

to

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

this will prepend /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable which is probably what you want.
