It's really not in your best interest to hand-manage your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH and ROS_WORKSPACE as @Flowers indicates in his answer.

I would use the excellent rosws tool. If you have followed the Fuerte installation instructions, you should already have it.

If not, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall

You can then do the following:

# Initialize a workspace
rosws init ~/robotino_testing

# Source that workspace
cd ~/robotino_testing && source ./setup.bash

# Merge your OS install
rosws merge /opt/ros/fuerte

# Find the robotino repository and merge it locally
roslocate info robotino | rosws merge -
roslocate info robotino_kinect | rosws merge -
roslocate info simple_grasping | rosws merge -

# Update your workspace
rosws update

Now you can just rosmake the packages that you are interested in using.
