I have had the same problem on windows. "texexec --luatex test" will create a spurious cache directory and then proceed to search it:

1. Check to see if it works from the scite script cscite in unix (cscite.bat on windows).

The only cscite-file on my system is "context/data/cscite.rme"...

So you don't have a maximal distribution then...

...

2. If you can run luatex from scite then just save the scite script to a different name and edit it to launch your application (editor or shell).

No, I use emacs and bash...

I think, at first I need the answers to the following questions: Does luatex need an fmt-file?

yes

- If no, why does luatex complain? - If yes, how do I generate it, since format-generation produces only cont-en.luc and cont-en.lua?

Are you sure there is not another cache directory created? What happens here: 1. a cache is created by luatex 2. when I run "texmfstart texexec file" a secondary cache is created and then I get the exect same error messages that you get. When I start an application using cscite.bat or a derivative of it, everything works fine. cscite.bat initializes scite using setuptex.bat (or just setuptex under unix). So try to get a distributution with Scite and the initialition script. Then, if scite works properly, you can edit the initialization script to start whatever you like (emacs, bash, etc., notepad++ in my case).
