Thanks, Hans.
Apparently that is the trick. After using find to locate all
cont*.fmt's and removing them, luatools generated one in its cache
directory that proved to be sufficient. Must indeed be a path variable
problem (TeX now has so many of them, I never seem to get them sorted
out; not to mention the interplay between those in .cnf files and
those in my .bashrc that drives me mad).

After starting afresh after an os update and much trouble in getting

But now (running in TeXShop) typesetting will not occur:

In texmf.cnf I have TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}// (worked
in the past)
What's wrong here?
remove *all* cont-en.fmt files on your system, maybe there is a lookup
match lower in the tree; keep in mind that when generating formats,
the
generator has to move the file someplace, while when using the format
the variable kicks in, so there can be a mismatch
