It is naturally possible that it is a problem with my installation,
as it is partly miktex partly a mini texlive. But the documentation
says that a mem is not actually needed and it worked last time I
tried (end of july). 

Also I just saw that the same error is mentioned two threads below
(8. August) where Taco mentioned that some code should be added to
luamplib. 

Like mentioned there I too can't create a mem with the lua script,
it tells me "dumping format plain in mplib-luatex.mem" but no file
is generated. 

My luatex version is currently beta-0.62.0-2010081917.
