[tex-live] [2007.0122] adding a texmf tree broken?

Hi. I'm not positive I am doing things the correct way but this kind of
thing worked in teTeX (fc4/fc5) so I'm not sure why it isn't working
now.
The problem - I tried modifying texmf.cnf to add a new texmf tree.
Purpose of tree is a place to put updates to TeXLive that I don't want
in the version independent texmf-local (which I pretty much only use for
commercial fonts).
I installed the TeX Live 2007-0122 snapshot on Fedora Core 6.
It is the only TeX installed on the system. No teTeX or anything else.
I went through the bin directory with ldd to make sure all necessary
libraries are in fact on the system (had to add libXp and compat-libstdc
++-33)
After fixing issues of glossary.sty and subfigure.sty no longer working
with memoir, the project I am working on compiles fine. So the install
seems good.
Here's the layout:
/texlive (lv just for texlive)
/texlive/texmf-local (local texmf tree)
/texlive/2007.0122 (all the 2007 snapshot trees inside there)
The tree I tried to add is
/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-patch
I've attached my modified texmf.cnf file.
Here's the weird thing - kpsewhich definitely knows about the new tree:
[root at atlantis web2c]# kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMFPATCH'
/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-patch
[root at atlantis web2c]# kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMF'
{/root/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/root/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/root/texmf,!!/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-config,!!/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-var,!!/texlive/2007.0122/texmf,!!/texlive/texmf-local,!!/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-patch,!!/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-dist}
[root at atlantis web2c]# kpsewhich -expand-var '$SYSTEXMF'
/texlive/texmf-local:/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-patch:/texlive/2007.0122/texmf:/texlive/2007.0122/texmf-dist
but the ls-R is not created when running texhash:
[root at atlantis web2c]# texhash
texhash: Updating /texlive/2007.0122/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /texlive/2007.0122/texmf-config/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /texlive/2007.0122/texmf-dist/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /texlive/2007.0122/texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /texlive/texmf-local/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
If I specify texhash /texlive/2007.0122/texmf-patch
it creates the ls-R file - and does so correctly, but any files in it
are not found by kpsewhich
Is there something else I need to do?
The thought behind the tree is a place to put errata and updates that I
don't want in texmf-local because I will be using the same texmf-local
with future TeXLive installs that may have updates to manually installed
updates ... so I want a tree in the version specific TeXLive directory
specifically for manually installed updates.

% texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
% (If you change or delete `original' on the previous line, the
% distribution won't install its version over yours.)
% Public domain.
%
% What follows is a super-summary of what this .cnf file can
% contain. Please read the Kpathsea manual for more information.
%
% texmf.cnf is generated from texmf.in, by replacing @var@ with the
% value of the Make variable `var', via a sed file texmf.sed, generated
% (once) by kpathsea/Makefile (itself generated from kpathsea/Makefile.in
% by configure).
%
% Any identifier (sticking to A-Za-z_ for names is safest) can be assigned.
% The `=' (and surrounding spaces) is optional.
% No % or @ in texmf.in, for the sake of autogeneration.
% (However, %'s and @'s can be edited into texmf.cnf or put in envvar values.)
% $foo (or ${foo}) in a value expands to the envvar or cnf value of foo.
%
% Earlier entries (in the same or another file) override later ones, and
% an environment variable foo overrides any texmf.cnf definition of foo.
%
% All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so you can use
% variables before they are defined.
%
% If a variable assignment is qualified with `.PROGRAM', it is ignored
% unless the current executable (last filename component of argv[0]) is
% named PROGRAM. This foo.PROGRAM construct is not recognized on the
% right-hand side. For environment variables, use FOO_PROGRAM.
%
% Which file formats use which paths for searches is described in the
% various programs' and the kpathsea documentation.
%
% // means to search subdirectories (recursively).
% A leading !! means to look only in the ls-R db, never on the disk.
% A leading/trailing/doubled ; in the paths will be expanded into the
% compile-time default. Probably not what you want.
%
% You can use brace notation, for example: /usr/local/{mytex:othertex}
% expands to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex. Instead of the path
% separator you can use a comma: /usr/local/{mytex,othertex} also expands
% to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex. However, the use of the comma
% instead of the path separator is deprecated.
%
% The text above assumes thet path separator is a colon (:). Non-UNIX
% systems use different path separators, like the semicolon (;).
% Part 1: Search paths and directories.
% You can set an environment variable to override TEXMF if you're testing
% a new TeX tree, without changing anything else.
%
% You may wish to use one of the $SELFAUTO... variables here so TeX will
% find where to look dynamically. See the manual and the definition
% below of TEXMFCNF.
% The tree containing the runtime files closely related to the specific
% program version used:
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
% The main distribution tree:
TEXMFDIST = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-dist
% Patches to the main distribution tree:
TEXMFPATCH = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-patch
% A place for local additions to a "standard" texmf tree.
% This tree is not used for local configuration maintained by
% texconfig, it uses TEXMFCONFIG below.
TEXMFLOCAL=/texlive/texmf-local
% TEXMFSYSVAR, where texconfig-sys stores variable runtime data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFSYSVAR = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
TEXMFSYSVAR=$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG, where texconfig-sys stores configuration data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
% User texmf trees are allowed as follows.
% This used to be HOMETEXMF.
TEXMFHOME=$HOME/texmf
% TEXMFVAR, where texconfig stores variable runtime data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFVAR = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFVAR = $HOME/.texmf-var # teTeX 3.0 default
TEXMFVAR = $HOME/.texlive2007/texmf-var
% TEXMFCONFIG, where texconfig stores configuration data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texmf-config # teTeX 3.0 default
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texlive2007/texmf-config
% Now, list all the texmf trees. If you have multiple trees you can
% use shell brace notation, like this:
% TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
% The braces are necessary.
%
% For texconfig to work properly, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be named
% explicitly and before all other trees.
TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFPATCH,!!$TEXMFDIST}
% The system trees. These are the trees that are shared by all the users.
% If a tree appears in this list, the mktex* scripts will use
% VARTEXFONTS for generated files, if the original tree isn't writable;
% otherwise the current working directory is used.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFPATCH;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFDIST
% Where generated fonts may be written. This tree is used when the sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
% Where to look for ls-R files. There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
%
% By default, this is only the !! elements of TEXMF, so that mktexlsr
% does not create ls-R files in the non-!! elements -- because if an
% ls-R is present, it will be used, and the disk will not be searched.
% This is arguably a bug in kpathsea, but we will not think about it now.
%
TEXMFDBS = {!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!TEXMFPATCH,!!$TEXMFDIST}
% It may be convenient to define TEXMF like this:
% TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN,$HOME}
% which allows users to set up entire texmf trees, and tells TeX to
% look in places like ~/tex and ~/bibtex. If you do this, define TEXMFDBS
% like this:
% TEXMFDBS = $TEXMFHOME;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS
% or mktexlsr will generate an ls-R file for $HOME when called, which is
% rarely desirable. If you do this you'll want to define SYSTEXMF like
% this:
% SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFDIST
% so that fonts from a user's tree won't escape into the global trees.
%
% On some systems, there will be a system tree which contains all the font
% files that may be created as well as the formats. For example
% TEXMFVAR = /var/lib/texmf
% is used on many Linux systems. In this case, set VARTEXFONTS like this
% VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
% and do not mention it in TEXMFDBS (but _do_ mention TEXMFVAR).
%
% Remove $VARTEXFONTS from TEXMFDBS if the VARTEXFONTS directory is below
% one of the TEXMF directories (avoids overlapping ls-R files).
