Are you aware that being chdir'ed to a directory does *not* mean you
are running program from that directory? You'd have to have dot in
your PATH, which I hope you do not have, as you are working as root.

You'd have to do ./sqlplus here to invoke
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/bin/sqlplus. Or just use the full
path.

You should use type sqlplus to check what sqlplus you run.
