I probably told you wrong, but:
1.) you have HOMETEXMF first and then TEXMFHOME: these need to be equal
2.) unless you are following (3), don't modify the file in texmf/, but create
  /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf
instead, else the file will be overwritten at first update
3.) even then I'm not completely sure, but I guess that environmental
variables override settings in texmf.cnf, so you either need to
  a) modify setuptex (rename it and run the renamed file instead of setuptex)
  b) only export PATH and not run setuptex at all; in that case values
from texmf.cnf will be used
- maybe you need to run "mktexlsr" or "luatools --generate"

Where does this "context" come from? From .engine file for TeXShop?
