This is true in any flavour of Unix, and if the script was written that way,
it's in error. Executing "export $HOME" will have the effect of creating an
environment variable named whatever the value of $HOME happens to be, in all
likelihood with a blank value.
For example,
#HOME=/home/koschate
#export $HOME
would be the same as doing
#export /home/koschate
which is pretty much a pointless exercise.
