Isn't that the right one? You have installed to
./2008/....
thus the binaries are in
./2008/bin/arch/...
thus SELFAUTOPARENT spits out
./2008/
and $SELAUTOPARENT/../
./
and this you arrive at
./texmf-local
Did you actually try it out?

Do oyu have
TEXMFLOCAL=./texmf-local
??? This is a *very* bad setting, because when you compile a document in
~/tex/foobar/
then TEXMFLOCAL=~/tex/foobar/texmf-local, etc etc etc
Best wishes
