What about TWO_TASK and TNS_ADMIN in the env? (TWO_TASK is the tnsnames entry and TNS_ADMIN is the directory the tnsnames.ora file is in)
One suggestion I have also heard is to make sure there is a tnsnames entry with the same name as the SID you are connecting to and use that entry for the install.
