It should be $RUNTIMEPATH/ftplugin/tex/texrc.

However, I still have a feeling that for some reason, your setting for
g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi is not taking effect. What does

:set makeprg?

say when you open a .tex file? It should echo back the value of
g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi. If it doesn't, then there's your problem...

Another place to try putting the value of g:Tex_CompileRule_dvi would be
in your ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/tex.vim. That will hopefully always get
sourced...
