Do you run the right kpsewhich etc? I have seen that, there was one
report of that, but we couldn't track it down ...

Output of printenv? Maybe there is something there to be found?

Ford had his own code of ethics. It wasn't much of one,
but it was his and he stuck by it, more or less. One rule
he made was never to buy his own drinks. He wasn't sure if
that counted as an ethic, but you have to go with what
you've got.
