You do say `don't ask why', but just in case it helps avoid sed
hackery, are you aware that an empty path in the relevant environment
variable causes the kpse searching algorithms to insert the default
path at that point?
Thus
% kpsepath bib
.:/Volumes/Lagrange/Users/norman/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib//:<BLAH>:!!/
usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/bibtex///
% export BIBINPUTS=/my/place::/last/ditch
% kpsepath bib
/my/place:.:/Volumes/Lagrange/Users/norman/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib//
<BLAH>:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/bibtex///:/last/ditch
Just in case....
Norman
