Unable to generate luatex formats

[Michael Green <merely.ridiculous@gmail.com>]

[A] My experience is similar to Hans van der Meer's (quoted below).

luatools --generate does what I think it's supposed to.

luatools luat-env.lua returns a blank line.

[B] I followed Thomas Schmitz's instructions and used the  
source .luatex method, for what it's worth.

.luatex contains:

export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c"
export TEXMF="{/Users/michaelgreen/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ 
michaelgreen/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/michaelgreen/Library/ 
texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/ 
texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/../ 
texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/ 
usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua,/usr/local/ 
texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}"

[C] Is there a chance that this is a permissions issue? I had to make  
luatools.lua executable by hand.

None of the other files in that directory are executable, where  
'that' directory is:

  /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua
