As the manual says:
CACHE_FILE=<path>
Overrides the standard location of the cache file. This setting
can be overridden by the environment variable BLKID_FILE. Default
is /run/blkid/blkid.tab, or /etc/blkid.tab on systems without a
/run directory.

If you are on Jessie (and have not altered any udev rules) you have a
broken system. Please post the output of 'ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d'.
