If that one is not being respected, something might be wrong. Do you have any other texmfcnf.lua file somewhere else?

No, I export TEXMFCACHE in my .profile, because I want the cache to be inside my home folder.

Oh, that's another story then.

After running setuptex, ConTeXt minimals uses that rather than the path specified in texmfcnf.lua. Since now I know that luatex-cache can be shared, for me this is perfectly fine.

I just had to adjust the TeXShop engines (I am on Mac OS X) by explicitly setting TEXMFCACHE for XeTeX and MKII, besides MKIV.

TEXMFCACHE is not used by MKII (neither in pdfTeX nor in XeTeX).

So, if I get it right, the value in texmfcnf.lua is used unless TEXMFCACHE is set.

True. Mojca
