I don't understand.  If you were able to call 'texlua --version', I
don't see how mtxrun could fail (assuming it was started from the same
process/command window).  In both cases the same PATH had to be
searched for the binary, so it's impossible it succeeded in one case
and failed in another (windows is weird, but not that weird).
