Am using the following command to set TEXINPUTS where I have my style files

gungadin_trk="${HOME}/Opstk/bin/gungadin-1.0"
chilkat_trk="${gungadin_trk}/typex/chilkat//"
export TEXINPUTS=".:${chilkat_trk}:${TEXINPUTS}"

When I do

echo $TEXINPUTS

I get the directory repeated twice. What could be the cause for this ?

.:/home/hagbard/Opstk/bin/gungadin-1.0/typex/chilkat//:.:/home/hagbard/Opstk/bin/gungadin-1.0/typex/chilkat//:

This is just a bash question unrelated to tex

export TEXINPUTS=".:${chilkat_trk}:${TEXINPUTS}"

prepends

.:/home/hagbard/Opstk/bin/gungadin-1.0/typex/chilkat//:

to whatever was the (unshown) current value of TEXINPUTS which clearly already had this directory at the front.

This could happen if for example the original lines were in .bashrc and you started a nested shell as you are adding the local directory again at every shell that is started.
