I guess that $PATH should be expanded already. I think that
exec-path is initialized from $PATH.
In the shell where you start Emacs, have a look at $PATH. Does it
contain them "$SYBASE" strings literally, dollar-sign and all?
Maybe PATH="$PATH" or setenv PATH "$PATH" might be useful things to
type in the shell before starting Emacs.
