the weird is just reported because normally there is something texmf or 
web2c in the name which isn't the case there

You can try in texmf-local/web2c:

return {
     type    = "configuration",
     version = "1.",
     date    = "2015-03-04",
     time    = "14:00:00",
     comment = "ConTeXt MkIV configuration file",
     author  = "Ulrike Fischer",
     content = {
         variables = {

             -- texroot/texmf-mine/...

             TEXMFMINE = "selfautoparent:texmf-mine",
             TEXMF     = 
"{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMODULES,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFSYSTEM,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFMINE}",
         }
     }
}
