Permission denied is usually a file permission error (script is not executable).
Totally weird. The file /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl/mptopdf.pl was not executable, but it is executable in TeXLive's SVN which is a bit strange. Moreover the file I have is dated 28th May, while the one in TL is dated 1st June. Maybe MacTeX took older files exactly in the three-day window (but I did update after that ...) or maybe I simply screwed up the installation by rewriting some ConTeXt files one day without being aware of it (which is more probable). TLContrib's ConTeXt doesn't seem to accidentally have that file, at least not at the moment. Thanks anyway, Mojca PS: the request for Hans is still valid
