I'm a bit late with my answer ...

Since you mention texmf.cnf: what path were you trying to add? I think 
bibtex uses just two paths, those addressed by BIBINPUTS and by 
BSTINPUTS, the latter one containing the csf files with the rules to 
sort too since this is some kind of 'style.' It is 
$TEXMF/bibtex/{bst,}//, meaning for example 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/bibtex/csf or 
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/csf.

bibtex has its own top-level tree since it is not derived from TeX (or 
LaTeX).

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me
as a German, and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world.
Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and
Germany will declare that I am a Jew.          --Albert Einstein, 1929
