sqlplus variable

Hello all,
 
I've been trying to script a backup that uses sqlplus /nolog as a
variable.  I create the variable as:
SQL_UTILITY='sqlplus /nolog' export SQL_UTILITY 
 
in my bash script but when I execute it I get:
 
': not a valid identifier

I've tried a bunch of different combos but still get the same error.
Which part is wrong?

If I just type this at the command line and then echo back $SQL_UTILITY,
it works.  What could be wrong script-wise?

ciao,
Brian
