OK, first change didn't accomplish anything.
Second change, calling via /usr/bin/expect<expectscript> ipadd, with trace running outputs:
Code:
~/Scripts$ ./get-int
+ read ipadd
+ echo 10.33.220.12
10.33.220.12
+ export ipadd
+ /usr/bin/expect list-int 10.33.220.12
can't read "1": no such variable
    while executing
"set device $1"
    (file "list-int" line 6)

So changing the method of calling the script has stopped the argument being passed by the looks of it...

plot

PLOT(1G)																  PLOT(1G)

NAME

       plot - graphics filters

SYNOPSIS

       plot [ -Tterminal ] [ -rresolution ] [ files... ]

DESCRIPTION

       These  commands	read  plotting	instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard input or the specified files, and in general produce plotting
       instructions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard output.	The -r flag may be used to specify the device's output	resolution
       (currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option).

       If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see environ(7)) is used.  Known terminals are:

       4013   Tektronix 4013 storage scope.

       4014 or tek
	      Tektronix  4014  or  4015  storage  scope  with Enhanced Graphics Module.  (Use 4013 for Tektronix 4014 or 4015 without the Enhanced
	      Graphics Module).

       450    DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       300    DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       300S   DASI 300S terminal (Diablo mechanism).

       aed    AED 512 color graphics terminal.

       bitgraph or bg
	      BBN bitgraph graphics terminal.

       imagen or ip
	      Imagen laser printer (default 240 dots-per-inch resolution).

       crt    Any crt terminal capable of running vi(1).

       dumb   Dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers.

       vt125  DEC vt125 terminal.

       hp2648 or hp or hp8
	      Hewlett Packard 2648 graphics terminal.

       ver    Versatec D1200A printer-plotter.

       var    Benson Varian printer-plotter.

	      These versions of plot use the -g option of lpr(1) to send the result directly to the plotter device rather  than  to  the  standard
	      output.
