Its more of bibtex not finding than org-export problem.

I have this in my .bashrc (~/git/bib is the folder I put my citations)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export BIBINPUTS=".:$HOME/git/bib:"
export BSTINPUTS=".:$HOME/git/bib:"
export TEXINPUTS=".:$HOME/git/bib:"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And in my org file I don't even give any path name..
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bibfile}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Thanks.,
