Another option is to >protect your temp job files with (in cont-sys.tex): I just wanted to jump in here as someone who has also had exactly this error when using mp-graph. It still has not entirely gone away (I try to run "mpost mpgraph", and I still get the above error... that points to the problem not being in ConTeXt alone), but Hans suggested a patch for me last week...

FYI, I found the form.mp file Hans writes about in texmf/ metapost/context/mp-form.mp, at least in my TeXLive 7 install. (Hmm... could this be a problem to TeXLive people?)
