That cannot work!!! pdftex searches compiled in default for
the *first* texmf.cnf  and that is based on the parent dir etc etc.

Try to put it into
	/usr/bin/pdftex
(backup copy of the original one) and see if it works ...

That are the basics of kpathsea search.  The *first* texmf.cnf needs
to be found via the compiled in paths, there is a bunch
of places that pdftex will search for, but if you have it in
~/bin/pdftex then it *cannot* find the /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
