As I see it (without understanding cygwin:() that's where the problem is.

Jerome> Have you configure your texmf.cnf ?

The appropriate section is

% The main tree, which must be mentioned in $TEXMF, below:
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
% A place for local additions to a "standard" texmf tree.  
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local

% User texmf trees can be catered for like this...
HOMETEXMF=$HOME/texmf

% A place where texconfig stores modifications (instead of the TEXMFMAIN
% tree).  texconfig relies on the name, so don't change it.
VARTEXMF = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var

% Now, list all the texmf trees. If you have multiple trees,
% use shell brace notation, like this:
%   TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$VARTEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
% The braces are necessary.
%
% A place where to store other TeX support files. It can be a remote
% texmf tree, or a tree to store non-free stuff, or ...
%   TEXMFEXTRA=$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-extra
% If you set this, add $TEXMFEXTRA in the list below
%
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$VARTEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

% The system trees.  These are the trees that are shared by all the users.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMF

Jerome> Have you build this format ?
Jerome> For that do:
Jerome> texconfig rehash (or mktexlsr)

Well, as I stated above the ls-R's are up to date.

Jerome> texconfig init

The config file is current either, and it clearly exists.

Greetings,
Jochen
