Why is the fonts database not updated?

Why is the fonts database not updated?

I moved the fonts form my personal library to the system-wide library but context keeps on keeping the font setup to look for the personal library

After I have run

mtxrun --script font --reload --force

and I compile my test file I see:

fonts           > defining > source file '/Users/gerben/Library/Fonts/Ophian-Regular.otf' is not found
fonts           > defining > using source file '/Library/Fonts/Ophian-Regular.otf' due to cache mismatch
fonts           > defining > source file '/Users/gerben/Library/Fonts/Cabin-Regular.ttf' is not found
fonts           > defining > using source file '/Library/Fonts/Cabin-Regular.ttf' due to cache mismatch

Is there a better way to force a real reload of the font cache?

The command

  $ mtxrun --scripts cache --erase

should clear the whole cache.

I've used the following without any troubles for a few years now:

$ cat ~/bin/fontcache
#!/usr/bin/env bash

fc-cache -fv
mtxrun --generate
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
