Is that a typo?  I guess it should be texmf.

Ok, I see.  On GNU/Linux, the standard user location seems to be
~/texmf/bibtex/bib/.  But reftex only looks into the current directory,
BIBINPUTS, and TEXBIB.  I'd like not to hard-code paths that might be
configured differently.

That's the default value, isn't it?

Anyway, using external file finders works for me, but you also need to
set `reftex-use-external-file-finders'.
