This is a very common mistake in using grep and ps. grep doesn't know anything about program names -- it simply searches for the string you want. Instead, use ps to find the exact program you are looking for. In your example, use this command:

UNIX95=1 ps -f -C export.sh

Be sure to type the line exactly as shown. The UNIX95 variable must be temporarily set for ps to use the -C option. Don't put the UNIX95=1 on a separate line as it can change other commands. The -C option does not use grep but searches the process table internally.

If you don't want to use Bill's suggestion, you can use this grep trick:
ps -aef | grep "[e]xport.sh"
