Same error here on OS X. And another question: I couldn't get my TEXMFHOME recognized under linux-32. One problem was that it is set to ~/texmf-home. I would suggest setting this value back to the canonical ~/texmf. (I had more problems, but I'll have to reboot into linux in order to verify).
OK, this problem is gone with the latest beta. The problem with the wrong value of TEXMFHOME persists. In a pristine texmfcnf.lua, this is set (l. 25) TEXMFHOME = "~/texmf-home", -- "tree:///~/texmf for mkii, however, it is set in texmf.cnf (l. 31) TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf why these two different values? I consider texmf-home as wrong. Moreover, when I set this to a sane value TEXMFHOME = "/Users/tas/texmf", -- "tree:///~/texmf and then re-run mtxrun --generate, I get this error: MTXrun | MTXrun | fileio: scanning path 'tree:////Users/tas/texmf' /Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:9094: cannot open tree:////Users/tas/texmf/: No such file or directory I have no idea what the notation 'tree:////' is supposed to do. /Users/tas/texmf does indeed exist and works with the beta before the scripts were changed. So I'm somewhat stymied. Thomas
