FWIW, I get the same error message on my TL2010 installation.
$luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.67.0-2011042320 (rev 4192)
$context --version
MTXrun | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05
$context --make
MTXrun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en
....
LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc
LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc
/usr/bin/luatools:2734: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (directory
metatable expected, got nil)
...
I am pretty sure that ConTeXt in TL2010 was working at some stage and
failed after I updated. I normally just use the minimals, so I never
bothered to dig into this.
