The code in the luatex TRUNK initializes a lua variable named

    os.selfdir

which is the directory where luatex's executable resides, with
symlinks resolved. This code is not yet in the 0.25.3 that is
on texlive.

If that would help (of which I am not sure), I can do a backport
of that functionality to texlive (but only if it would actually
help, of course)

Best wishes,
