In the instructions I wrote a while ago on the list, I suggested  
putting the luatex-cache directory into the /tmp folder. This means it  
will be deleted at every reboot, so you'll indeed have to run these  
two commands at every startup. Now, luatex and mkiv have become more  
stable, so I wouldn't recommend that anymore. In your .luatex file,  
change the first line to

export TEXMFCACHE="$HOME"

This way, the directory luatex-cache will be generated in your home  
directory and will persist across reboots, and you won't have to run  
these commands unless a new version comes out.
