Got to http://localhost:8010/waterfall and click on the failing step.
You'll see a log of the command line and the environment variables.

That doesn't help your slave.
If you want a step to be executed with specific values in it's 
environment you should use the env argument to the step (from the manual 
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html)

env
    a dictionary of environment strings which will be added to the child
    command's environment. The usual property interpolations can be used
    in environment variable names and values - see /Properties/
    <http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/manual/cfg-properties.html#properties>.
