If you know what they are then why not just set them at the start of 
your script.  The oracle one should be easy with oraenv.  Same with 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH. 

Also run the script from an account with no env variables to double check.

You could also run your .baashrc or .bash_profile at the start of your 
script.  Maybe not such a good idea.

Cheers,
Simon.
