PM2 + Meteor Environment Setup

I am trying to setup Meteor to use pm2 (https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) instead of forever as the node process monitor. I have had no luck in getting the environment variables that a Meteor application needs to be seen by the pm2 process.

Here is my process:

export MONGO_URL="mongodb://localhost:27017/meteor"
export PORT=4000
export ROOT_URL="https://beta.example.com/"
pm2 start main.js --name MyMeteorApp

In the error log from pm2 I see that my Meteor application is complaining that it cannot find MONGO_URL.

Is there a specific way that I need to do the exports in order to work with pm2?
