OK, I'm answering my own post. The plot thickens. It looks like this has something to do with file names. It only happens when I have a name with a period in it. Thusly, file 05.11.08.tex will not run MP to PDF, when I copy the exact same file to 05_11_08.tex, everything works as it should.

This may have something to do with the fact (as I just found out) that newtexexec doesn't even want to touch these files. I have two identical files in a directory, one called 05.10.18.tex, the other 05_10_18.tex. Here's what happens when I run newtexexec on them:

TeXExec | processing document '05.10.18.tex'
TeXExec | runtime: 0.006379

(and that's it. No output, no action)

TeXExec | processing document '05_10_18.tex'
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
TeXExec | progname: context

and so on.

Bug or feature? You decide, Hans!

bug; but does this mean that the old texexec works ok? Hans
