[tex-live] File not found within $TEXMFLOCAL under Windows

I have TeX Live 2013 installed under
C:\Users\jcsalomon\Programs\TeXLive\2013, with $TEXMFLOCAL &
$TEXMFHOME set to C:\Users\jcsalomon\Programs\TeXLive\texmf-local.

I tried to use a locally-installed package, but was told it couldn't
be found, so I tried to troubleshoot:

***
C:\Users\jcsalomon>kpsewhich createspace.sty

C:\Users\jcsalomon>kpsewhich -expand-var $TEXMFLOCAL
C:/Users/jcsalomon/Programs/TeXLive/2013/../texmf-local

C:\Users\dgjk86>dir Programs\TeXLive\texmf-local\createspace.sty
 Volume in drive C is System

C:\Users\jcsalomon>type Programs\TeXLive\texmf-local\ls-R
% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.

./:
createspace.sty
ISOuncoatedyellowish_bas.ICC
ls-R
PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_bas.ICC

C:\Users\jcsalomon>

So the file *is* there, but kpathsea seems not to be able to find it.
What can I try to fix this?
