So, you have put the file into a *directory* named
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf?

The meaning of TEXMFCNF is to specify a search path, not a file name.
I think that you should just unset that variable. Or, set it to
  /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c

Because you have forced them not to find your file...
