Yes. The files are in following two directories.

/home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/third/pocketdiary/
/home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/

After mktexlsr texdoc find the documentation of the module:

~ $ texdoc -l pocket
 1 /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/t-pocketdiary.pdf
 2 /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/README.txt
Please enter the number of the file to view, anything else to skip: 


The problem seems to be in how context find the files path. As you suggested I tried:

~ $ mtxrun --expand-var TEXMFLOCAL

home/admich/texlive/texmf-local

I think that the problem is here. It should be /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local
