I don't know if I am a guru, but it looks like the setenv command only applies
to the current tcsh environment. When you launch the script, in fact you are
calling a /second/ tcsh. Therefore your variables are forgotten once you pop
out of the tcsh stack.

IIRC you should use "source whatever.tcsh" if you want to act through the
current tcsh session.

Any guru can obviously explain more in detail :)
