I went back to your earlier messages in this thread (I had missed the problem was for texmf-local), where you write

To be sure I did the same on my setup:

	% head -20 ~/Desktop/ls-R_texmf-local_shell.txt 
	% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.
	./:
	bibtex
	doc
	dvips
	fonts
	ls-R
	metapost
	source
	tex
	web2c

	./bibtex:
	bib
	bst

	./bibtex/bib:
	local

	./bibtex/bib/local:

and

	% head -20 ~/Desktop/ls-R_texmf-local_perl.txt
	% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.
	
	./:
	.:
	tex
	bibtex
	source
	fonts
	ls-R
	metapost
	web2c
	doc
	dvips

	./tex:
	latex
	plain
	generic
	cupplain
	amstex

Plus

	% ls -l ~/Desktop/ls-R_texmf-local_*.txt   
	-rw-r--r--@ 1 brunovoisin  staff  19772 Mar 16 12:51 /Users/brunovoisin/Desktop/ls-R_texmf-local_perl.txt
	-rw-r--r--@ 1 brunovoisin  staff  19768 Mar 16 12:50 /Users/brunovoisin/Desktop/ls-R_texmf-local_shell.txt

So the two ls-R seem to reference the same dirs and files.

Could this be a permission problem? Are all the files there owned by root:wheel (I change manually ownership to root:wheel, same as TEXMFROOT, for all the files I put into texmf-local), or do some have other owners like voss:staff or similar?

Also, do you run mktexlsr with or without sudo? If sudo, do you use "sudo -H"? I think Norbert's scripts usually make sure -H is used, but the original shell script possibly doesn't.
