ctxtools --updatecontext is supposed to do that, but it has some
problems. One thing that needs to be fixed in your script:
- recognising platform should be automatic & paths should be fixed
- you should check first if one really has TL 2008 installed; on other
platforms your assumptions won't work

But on the other hand, it might make more sense to resolve problems
with Norbert's script, and then offer proper updates. Honestly, I
would not like these updating procedures to spread around too much,
since you'll then have people asking you completely weird questions.
TeX Live is not supposed to be updated the way I told you.

Those chmod problems should be fixed on the server.

You don't need
    export TEXMFCNF

That should be fixed in ConTeXt zips themselves, but I bet that the
program that Hans uses and 99% of other compression programs do not
allow setting executable bits anywhere. So it might be a good hint to
post-modify files on the garden.


Concerning MKIV: I have found one extremely weird thing in my TL bin:
    luatools -> ../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/luatools

This looks a bit problematic to me. Please wait for Taco's or Karl's
answer. I have never noticed that weird thing so far.
