It's not a problem for me to keep testing as I'm an administrator of two Mac
labs with networked homefolders.  I've been away from work for a few days
but I'll be there tomorrow morning.  I'll test with 2.13.9-1 and if anybody
has a working link for a newer version I'll try that too.

As I mentioned in the report, the .lilypond-fonts.cache-2 directory is
created successfully, but not filled.  So I wonder if the code that creates
the cache files is trying to reach the homefolder by a different method (ie
assuming homefolders are only located in /Users for example).

Thanks for looking into this.
