I solved this once by removing the environment variables for image magick and also setting the PATH environment variable accordingly. I used a perl script, not bash, but it is the same thing. My suggestion would be to dump
out your environment variables with the command

env‍

and then set/unset/reset all that starts with MAGICK.
Here is how I did it in my perl script

# fix up env, as alfresco ships its own image magick
foreach my $k (keys %ENV) {
  if($k =~ m/^MAGICK/i) {
    delete $ENV{$k};
  }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Dont forget to check and reset the PATH variables as well.

hope that helps,
lothar
