In your /etc/profile change the line:

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

into:

if [ "${SHELL}" != "/bin/sh" ]; then
  source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
fi

Why?

In Mac OS X the default shell of superuser (root) is a POSIX shell, not a pure Bash. Adding such condition will disable rvm for (possibly) emerygency shell /bin/sh, used by system administrator. That is good. If you would like to install something using root's account, you can always type bash and then rvm … in a command line.
