Welcome to the changes in tds and distributions. When you also update the binaries, you can use:
textools --fixtexmftrees
The scripts are loaded by so called stubs. If you want to play safe, use texmfstart instead:
texmfstart texexec.pl .....
The indirect way permits me to adapt things to changes in the tree (unfortunately those changes are not always downward compatible, but in texmfstart i can at least try to hide this)
(see texmfstart manual for more features)
