Looking again at your first post, you tested that renaming .cshrc had the expected effect while logging in. Which proves nothing at all with respect to the third party script. Why not rename your .cshrc, then try that third party script? It may not be running your .cshrc at all. Maybe your bin directory is already in your PATH. If so, refraining from running your .cshrc again will avoid putting a second copy of your bin directory in your PATH. But that will not magicly remove a copy already there. This is why Bill Joy split out .login from .cshrc. You should not fiddle with your environment every time you run a script.

I found that the same commands(sort, du, df, find, grep etc.) exists in both dir.

shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
/bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh,
/usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

/etc/shells lists shells on system
