Whoooops. Apparently "sudo" (root) user doesn't know about TeXLive
paths, and you might not have sufficient rights to modify the files
yourself.
Are you the only user of your computer? Who's currently the owner of
/usr/local/texlive?
I would do the following (though it's *not* a general recipe):
sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup /usr/local/texlive (may take a while)
and then repeat the steps without sudo. Possibly you want to change
the owner back to root afterwards.
rsync with sudo indeed behaves a bit weird, and without sudo you are
probably not able to overwrite those files.

PS: Honestly, I'm also not sure if "texexec --make" will use the right
directory to store formats (if you update TL later, it might shield
the system formats in some cases). Maybe I was using
sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt cont-en
or
sudo fmtutil-sys --all
when generating MKII the formats (instead of texexec --make). But I
don't remember.
