/bin/sh is not bash on FreeBSD. IF you're using /bin/sh, then you
need to assign and export values as separate operations:
FOO=3Dbar
export FOO
Also, root's shell is not /bin/sh or anything of that ilk by default.
It is /bin/csh aka /bin/tcsh, and for that the syntax is:
setenv FOO bar
Cheers,
Matthew
