Sure, feel free to send me the file or a patch.

Oh, yes. I read this some time ago but forgot about it too. And we were
so close to understand, with
kpsewhich --expand-path \$TEXMFHOME # (nothing)
kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFHOME # (something)
So, no contradiction between Niel's messages from 15:03 and 20:25, but a
confusion in the later:
\begin{quote}
Let's back up. I'm getting the same result for
kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME
and
kpsewhich --expand-path \$TEXMFHOME
^^^^
kpsewhich --expand-var \$TEXMFHOME
^^^
/home/nbecker/texmf
kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME
/home/nbecker/texmf
\end{quote}
Everything's clear now.
Manuel.
