[tex-live] luatools/context ignore TEXMFVAR under TeXlive 2010

Hello,

the TeXlive 2010 Guide says in section 3.4.6 (ConTEXt Mark IV):

... "each MkIV user must run:
  luatools --generate
  context --make

The resulting files are stored under TEXMFVAR."

That's wrong.  I use TeXlive 2010 with OS X (the TeXlive distribution,
not MacTeX), and I've set TEXMFVAR to /Users/rjhb/var/texmf, and that
directory exists and is writable.  However, the two commands above
write their output under ~/.texlive2010/texmf-var.
~/.texlive2010 didn't exist before I ran the two commands.

Is there any way to persuade those commands to obey my environment?

Thanks, Rainer

PS. here's the output of "tlmgr conf", which confirms my TEXMFVAR:
