I see, you are using LUA scripts, things become clearer :-) The reason I
couldn't find references to the exiftool in the code of the buiild I gave
you was that the lua scripts you are using are probably stored in your
~/.config/darktable directory. If you have a look at the file
~/.config/darktable/luarc you'll see what scripts are enabled and as
Parafin suggested, you can either modify/disable them or see where they are
looking for exiftool.

I'm not a big fan of homebrew either -- I prefer MacPorts, because it
doesn't pollute your system directories, and and can delete it simply
by removing the whole /opt/local tree.

I don't think you need it -- I was initially thinking before that if you
didn't have exiv2 installed, then when darktable doesn't find it maybe it
tries to fallback to exiftool. But actually when I searched the code I
couldn't find any evidence of this, and it was all very puzzling. The lua
script explanation now makes sense :-)
