That is strange, really strange. We do add the TeX Live bin dir to the
PATH, but we put it *at*the*beginning*:
  debug("Prepending $plat_bindir to PATH\n");
  $ENV{'PATH'}="$plat_bindir" . "$pathsep" . "$ENV{'PATH'}";
So for the following commands "our" scripts should be used. I am really
surprised if that didn't work, and why?!

Best wishes
