True, but that's not what mtexmfstart.pdf says...
if one uses texmfstart, you only need to set the permission of texmfstart in the bin path; nowadays, my calls to script in the bin paths look like:
texexec ->
#!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.pl $@
that way i'm independent of anything funny that will happen with kpsewhich (since i only need to adapt texmfstart); think of recent changes in the script path and scriptpath location method;
btw, you can use texmfstart for more things, like
texmfstart --direct scite kpse:texmf.cnf
this will launch scite and open the texmf.cnf file used by your current installation.
