Okay, the output seems to have the MANPATH just fine.

If you eval the above line (in one line)
("MANPATH="/kolab/man:/kolab/local/man::/usr/man:/usr/share/man"; export 
MANPATH")
on the shell prompt, it should give you a MANPATH variable set.
Especially on your prompt try copying the line and then "echo $MANPATH".
Is this really empty?
If not, can you try
eval 'MANPATH=test ; export MANPATH'
echo $MANPATH
