That is a bash-ism.  Two bash-isms, actually.
You should use

	VAR=value
	export VAR

rather than

	export VAR=value

and you should use

	var=`pwd`

rather than 

	var=$(pwd)

Also you should put it all inside double quotes, in
case the directory name contains spaces (e.g. "/Program Files/Mercury").

So replace that with

       DIRNAME="`pwd`";                             			\
       ROOTNAME="`basename $$DIRNAME`";                             	\
       export ROOTNAME;							\

Apart from that it looks OK.
