Find the script mkluatexfontdb.lua (part of luaotfload) and run it on the
command line with the verbose option:
mkluatexfontdb.lua -vvv
(maybe without the .lua extension, depending how it's installed)
It will report the locations searched for fonts and which fonts are added to
the database. Perhaps that will help debug the problem.
