Shell script process remains after "exit 1"

I have a script that performs an oracle export:

Code:

<snip>
if [ ${exp_type} = FULL ]
then
        exp / full=y file=${exp_file} log=${exp_log} direct=y feedback=1000000 STATISTICS=NONE buffer=20000000
else
        exp / full=n owner=${schema_name} file=${exp_file} log=${exp_log} direct=y feedback=1000000 STATISTICS=NONE buffer=20000000
fi

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
        echo "Export command failed"
        exit 1
fi
echo "Export command succeeded"
exit 0

If the export succeeds then I get the message and the script ends with no process in memory. However, if it fails, the script stops (ie. doesn't display "Export Succeeded") but the process remains:

Code:

> ps -ef|grep export
oracle   23241     1  0 10:04 pts/1    00:00:00 /bin/bash /u01/ct_scr/export.sh TAXTST FULL Y

Anyone know what's happening here?
