After starting afresh after an os update and much trouble in getting
all those texmf.cnf parameters in order followed by context
specialities, I finally managed to get the cont-en.fmt in /usr/local/
texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt.
But now (running in TeXShop) typesetting will not occur:
TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file test.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 1100
TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.5 (Web2C 7.5.6)
\write18 enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
TeXExec | runtime: 0.601367
In texmf.cnf I have TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}// (worked
in the past)
What's wrong here?

remove *all* cont-en.fmt files on your system, maybe there is a lookup
match lower in the tree; keep in mind that when generating formats, the
generator has to move the file someplace, while when using the format
the variable kicks in, so there can be a mismatch

Thanks, Hans.
Apparently that is the trick. After using find to locate all
cont*.fmt's and removing them, luatools generated one in its cache
directory that proved to be sufficient. Must indeed be a path variable
problem (TeX now has so many of them, I never seem to get them sorted
out; not to mention the interplay between those in .cnf files and
those in my .bashrc that drives me mad).
