In your email I din't see any confusion, solely a manner of the PATH
environment variable.

This is your responsability if you have installed a vanilla TL, nothing
the distribution can do for you.

I suggest editing your .profile.

Title:
  tlmgr unable to set up TLPDB

Status in texlive-base package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When attempting to use tlmgr on Ubuntu 13.10, the program fails.
  Different options produce slightly different output:

  $ tlmgr --gui
  (running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
  Loading local TeX Live database;
  this may take some time, please be patient ...
  cannot setup TLPDB in /home/nskillen/texmf at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 5308.
  Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 4439.

  $ tlmgr update --all
  (running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
  cannot setup TLPDB in /home/nskillen/texmf at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 5308.

  The commands also fails when using sudo to run as root, with exactly
  the same output.
