Just as a side note, why would the shell think the format is supposed to be a command? That makes me wonder if there is some incorrect quoting in the Perl script.

Could be, but it's never been necessary in the past.

Well, I've deleted all the old ConTeXt directories, reinstalled the new version, copied the *.rme files to *.ini (or whatever they are supposed to be ... I think), regenerated the 'en', 'nl', and 'metafun' formats, and run texhash ... I'm still getting the same error. I also ran a diff comparing the texmf.cnf from the new installation with one from one of my working installation. The files are identical in everything related to ConTeXt. So, thank you both for your quick replies, but it looks like there's some other problem. BTW, this is a very new release of ConTeXt--June 16, according to the Pragma Web site.
