I think it might be the shell you are using for root, and or yourself. I
just tried it with csh, and got 'export: Command not found'

export is a sh/bash type builtin much the same as setenv for csh. kfmsu is
a shell script of a sort, but without the begining line of something along
the lines of #!/bin/sh at the beinging of the file. It tells the system to
use the bash or bourne shell. Try that it will probably fix your problem.
If not let me know and we will work through this thing.
