That sets up a bash-local variable. If you want it to be exported to the environment visible to child processes, then you _also_ need to use export, as in either:
VAR=blah export VAR or export VAR=blah
However, VAR is not seen in env in /path/programtorun.sh (called from cron).
Right - bash maintains two sets of variables, and only the exported ones are visible to children.
