[TxMt] "Personal" LaTeX files in ~/Library/texmf not found when using TexLive-2009

[Gary Wolfman]

I have just upgraded to, or more specifically - installed a parallel  
distribution of, TeXLive-2009.  Since doing so, I have found that  
typesetting LaTeX does not work correctly when the document references  
locally held "personal" class, style, bib or other files stored in ~/ 
Library/texmf.  The errors are included below (with some personal info  
redacted):

----------
Now, I initially thought that this might be a problem with the TexLive  
distribution.  However, when switching between the 2008 and 2009  
versions and using TeXShop as the frontend, there are no problems in  
either version; TexLive-2009 recognizes files under ~/Library/texmf  
and parses them correctly.  The next thought was that it was an issue  
with different versions of latexmk.pl - but TeXShop doesn't use that  
script unless it is specifically added on; it's not part of the basic  
distro.

Quite frankly I'm at a loss to suggest what the cause could be for  
this behaviour.  On the other hand, there is a fairly simple  
workaround - just include the necessary class and style files in the  
directory of the .tex document from which they are referenced.  the ./  
path seems to work without problems.  Of course, this defeats the  
purpose of having ~/Library/texmf, but at least it works.

Hopefully someone with more expertise with the guts of the LaTeX  
bundle and/or TeXLive will be able to figure this out.
