Are you executing (or running) the env variable script; then running the backup script? If so, then the env script sets the variables OK ... in the sub-shell that ran it! When that sub-shell finishes the env script, then your variables exit with the sub-shell. If this is what you have going on, then put the variable in the same script as the backup, or "dot" the env script.
