This most likely isn't your problem.  But for tcsh, it isn't
sufficient to do an "echo" test.  Because tcsh also has two sets of
variables... (which can be set by set and setenv).

So if you do:
   set a=foo

$a won't be an environment variable.  But will resolve when you do:
   echo $a

Instead, it's best to use:
   env | grep ENV_VARIABLE

env is a program, so it can be used from any shell.

It's also a good way to know if a variable is exported from the bash
shells.
