After a bit of research into:

Code:
export -p

In a POSIX shell "export -p" lists the currently exported values.
It does nothing else, even with parameters after the "export -p".

Code:
Compare:
# Proper use of export
unset hello
export hello="hello"
export -p | grep "hello"
# Improper use of export
unset hello
export -p hello="hello"
export -p | grep "hello"

Suggest you remove the "export -p" which precedes each assignment of environment variables in your script because it is stopping the assignment taking place. Besides which there is no point to using "export" in this shell context.
