The command ___ mkluatexfontdb___ creates a font database for LaTeX
(or more concrete the luaotfload package) but context has always used
it___s own font database.
To update the font database for context you have to call ___mtxrun
--script fonts --reload___ but the script searches for system fonts
only on windows and mac machines. When you___re working on a linux
system you have to set the ___OSFONTDIR___ variable first.

followed the advice in the wiki but with modifications. On my
Slackware single-user system the OTF fonts are in
/usr/share/fonts/OTF
So my Context script now contains just two commands:
export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/OTF
context $1
And the title.tex file now looks like this:
------------------------------------
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefont [titlefont][MyriadPro-Bold at 70bp]       
\definefont [subtitle][MyriadPro-Bold at 25bp]       
\startstandardmakeup
\titlefont 
\centerline{Scribus}
\vskip 10pt
\subtitle
\centerline {for}
\vskip 10pt
\titlefont
\centerline{Book Covers}
\subtitle
\vfil
\centerline{Free Publishing Software Series}
\vfil
\rm
\stopstandardmakeup
I changed your mixed code into ConTeXt code:

\definefont [titlefont] [MyriadPro-Bold*default at 70bp]
\definefont [subtitle]  [MyriadPro-Bold*default at 25bp]

\starttext

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]

\startstyle[titlefont]
  Scribus
  \blank[10pt]
  \style[subtitle]{for}
  \blank[10pt]
  Book Covers
\stopstyle

\vfil

\style[subtitle]{Free Publishing Software Series}

\vfil

\stopstandardmakeup

\stoptext
