More details, please. Like script behaviour, execution logs, undesired results, error messages, what have you. It's difficult to base an analysis on thin air... and we have nothing.
Might be worthwhile to clarify some wording in your request: You're using "export" in various contexts which may become quite confusing if not sharply discriminated. "[Ee]xport" is
- a keyword in bash (and other shells) for the "export" attribute to variables and functions "marking it for export to child processes" (man bash).
- a term in ORACLE (and other DB) context to create a backup / copy of a database and/or its tables and meta data. Fortunately, the respective SQL command is "exp".
- a variable in your code snippet above.
- used in your description for an action that doesn't necessarily comply with what you're showing in your snippet.
Now to your script. You don't show it, but I guess you should have received an SQL error message telling you it doesn't understand the "export" command. Well, it doesn't as that is a shell command that sql can't interpret and thus ignores or, worse, crashes on. The latter may be the reason why there is only one table in the spool file. The second table should be in the file if the wrong command were simply ignored.
You'd need to define the various file variables upfront, and then switch the SPOOLing from one to the next in sql.
BTW, the Export variable will be empty in above script as the space after the = will assign it such, and then bash will try to interpret / run the result of the sqlplus "command substitution", and error out on that (presumably).

NAME
mdb-export - Export data in an MDB database table to CSV format.
SYNOPSIS
mdb-export [-H] [-d delimiter] [-R row_delim] [[-Q] | [-q quote [-X escape]]] [-I] [-D format] database table
DESCRIPTION
mdb-export is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a CSV (comma separated value) output for the given table. Such output is suitable for importation into databases or spread-
sheets.
OPTIONS
-H Supress header row
-Q Don't wrap text-like fields (text, memo, date) in quotes. If not specified text fiels will be surrounded by " (double quote) char-
acters.
-d Specify an alternative column delimiter If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a , (comma) character.
-R Specify a row delimiter
-I INSERT statements (instead of CSV). You must specify the SQL dialect.
-D Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details)
-q Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ".
-X Use to escape quoted characters within a field. Default is doubling.
-N namespace
Prefix identifiers with namespace.

Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).
MDBICONV
Defines the output charset to use for the SQL file. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.
MDBOPTS
semi-column separated list of options:
o use_index
o no_memo
o debug_like
o debug_write
o debug_usage
o debug_ole
o debug_row
o debug_props
o debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options

BUGS
Memo fields are allowed to contain a newline characters, the current program does nothing about this.
