It *is* set when you run the script as a client extension, because 
$MACHINE is set by the "runclient.sh" script that starts up the client.
It sets these: MACHINE MACHINEDOTS BBOSTYPE HOBBITCLIENTHOME

But it would be nice if you could test client scripts just with bbcmd.
I'll see if I can make bbcmd pick up default settings for the
MACHINE, MACHINEDOTS and BBOSTYPE settings. Meanwhile, you can test
your script with

HOBBITCLIENTHOME=`pwd` \
MACHINEDOTS=my.local.hostname \
MACHINE=my,local,hostname \
BBOSTYPE=linux \
./bin/bbcmd --env=/usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg \
-x ~hobbit/client/ext/bb-cpu2.sh
