Then it should be $TEXMFVAR because it expands to
$HOME/.texliveYEAR/texmf-var
so
TEXMFCACHE=$TEXMFVAR
will be correct then.

In the olden days in England, you could be hung for stealing a sheep or a
loaf of bread.  However, if a sheep stole a loaf of bread and gave it to
you, you would only be tried for receiving, a crime punishable by forty
lashes with the cat or the dog, whichever was handy.  If you stole a dog
and were caught, you were punished with twelve rabbit punches, although it
was hard to find rabbits big enough or strong enough to punch you.
