The variable TEXMFCACHE is set in
    tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
and that one should do the job. Under usual circumstances at least.

If that one is not being respected, something might be wrong. Do you
have any other texmfcnf.lua file somewhere else?

(Note that you are also free to rename setuptex and modify it
according to your own needs, but it makes sense to debug this first.)
