Deleting the ls-R file did the job, but not as you would expect. After deleting the file, 'texconfig rehash' still has no effect. But when you then run 'texconfig confall', the first thing thats being done is to call mktexlsr, and then it works. So, now tell me anyone, whats the difference between the mktexlsr calls in option 'confall' and 'rehash'? Because on WinNT 'texconfig rehash' rebuilds the ls-R file regardless if its there or not or how old it is.
