Are you certain you are useing bash, to begin with?

AFAIK the history file is set through the HISTFILE environment variable. Do a 'set' or 'echo $HISTFILE' to see where the file is written.

HISTFILE is set at login, thus logging in again re-enables it. Doing 'unset HISFILE' is not logged in the history file. Try it...
