I have got a few months ago the same kind of problem. I used a 
workaround : I installed the complete mfpic package, downloaded from 
Dan Luecking's site,  in my home folder. There were no conflicts with 
the "texmf.tetex" installation, because it was never used. TeX only 
used my personal installation of mfpic.

Now, I work with the last settings from Gerben Wierda's latter TeXLive 
2004 installation, and I haven't got  any problems...
