Let's lose all the surplus Shell syntax, remove, move, or correct many quote characaters, and just execute the command.
There is an issue with $TMPDIR because the value can only come from the login script. Let's assume that it has a value, otherwise every line mentioning $TMPDIR will fail.
I have no idea what is in /usr/atria/bin/cleartool but there is no possible way that a called process executed in this manner can change the environment of the calling process.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
user="test"
DIR="/bldtmp/$user"
VIEW="test.view1"
echo "TMPDIR before export : $TMPDIR"
/usr/atria/bin/cleartool setview -exec "export TMPDIR=$DIR/tmp"
export UNPACKDIR="$TMPDIR/unpackdir"
echo "After Export: $TMPDIR  $VIEW"

Assuming that /usr/atria/bin/cleartool is a Shell Script, it would need to execute in the current Shell environment if it was to change the current Shell environment.

Perhaps:
Code:
. ./usr/atria/bin/cleartool

i.e dot-space-dot-slash-scriptname

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
