root@Mellowood:~# kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

 .. and, I just checked the file and it's there and is an ordinary 
file. All files in /etc/texmf are owned by root ... but I'd doing all 
this as root so it should be fine?

root@Mellowood:~# grep mpost `kpsewhich --format='web2c files'
      fmtutil.cnf`

No output on this (yes, it was entered as one line).

root@Mellowood:~# grep mpost /etc/texmf/fmt.d/*
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf:mpost              mpost           - 
        -translate-file=cp227.tcx mpost.mp
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf:metafun            mpost           - 
        -translate-file=cp227.tcx metafun.mp
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-context.cnf.dpkg-new:metafun         mpost 
        -               -translate-file=cp227.tcx metafun.mp
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-metapost.cnf:mpost           mpost 
-               -translate-file=cp227.tcx mpost.mp

Hope this makes some sense and will help figure out my bug.

Thanks.
