When I have more time I will follow your advice, but for the moment ...

I get 

$ find /usr/local/texlive/2010 -name
texmf.cnf/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf.cnf
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pgfplots/texmf.cnf

(is the last line ok?) and

$ kpsewhich --all texmf.cnf
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf.cnf
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
