Are you mixing mkiv and lmtx?

In mkiv:

    windows:

      luatex.exe
      mtxrun.exe (small stub)
      context.exe (small stub)
      mtxrun.lua

    unix:

      luatex
      mtxrun   (== mtxrun.lua without suffix)
      context  (== mtxrun --script context)

In lmtx all platforms have the same approach:

    windows:

      luametatex.exe
      mtxrun.exe  (copy of luametatex.exe or link to it)
      context.exe (copy of luametatex.exe or link to it)
      mtxrun.lua
      context.lua

    unix:

      luatex
      mtxrun  (copy of luametatex or link to it)
      context (copy of luametatex or link to it)
      mtxrun.lua
      context.lua

so it's either one or the other incarnation of the mtxrun file
