First of all a patch to make runme cope with spaces is paths.

I now get a little farther.

./runme.sh: updating in /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/local/texlive/2016...
./runme.sh: tlmgr version says this is TeX Live 2016
./runme.sh: proceeding with tlmgr update.

./runme.sh: done.

And no more broken entry in tlpdb.

What do we learn from this?
A space in a filename is a really bad thing.
Sadly it is the default name for the MacOS Volume.
