Hi Marc,

that one sounds familiar to me. ;-)

Your shell file does export the environment to its descendands only. 
Once it returns the old settings come into effect again.
If you want lasting effects you need to include these settings into 
the .bashrc and/or .profile shell files of the user in question.

Have a good day,
Bernd
