Well, this worked for me. Check this typescript file:
Script started on Tue Jun 13 19:46:42 2000
binand@jediland[~] mkdir test
binand@jediland[~] cd test
binand@jediland[~/test] ls -R *
ls: *: No such file or directory
binand@jediland[~/test] allow_null_glob_expansion=true
binand@jediland[~/test] ls -R *
.:
binand@jediland[~/test] exit
Script done on Tue Jun 13 19:47:05 2000
Are you using bash2 instead of bash? In bash2, it is
shopt -s nullglob
Or maybe you shouldn't export the variable.
