We've had this before. IIRC, the problem is that mtxrun looks for
the script using a different 'file type' from luatools. It probably
means you will have to adjust a value in texmf.cnf.

I have:

LUAINPUTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic}//:$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua
TEXMFSCRIPTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic,}//;$TEXMF/scripts/context//

and I strongly suspect both are needed. After adjusting the value(s),
you will have to rerun luatools --generate.

Hope this helps,
Taco
