Asking for `reftex-base' gives a reference to `reftex'?  Are you sure?

That would mean the reftex.el file from the version coming with Emacs is
preferred to the one from the CVS version.  This is a bit strange
because the load path shadows you sent below suggest the opposite.

If you do `M-x find-library <RET> reftex <RET>' and search for
"reftex-version" in the file, which version do you find?  Perhaps you
could do the same after starting Emacs with
emacs -Q -l auctex --eval "(progn (add-to-list 'load-path 
\"/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/reftex\") (require 'reftex) (add-hook 
'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex))" file.tex

This looks good.

This also looks like a mix-up of versions.  The code in reftex-base.el
references that variable but it is not found in reftex-vars.el (assuming
that reftex-vars.el(c) is loaded) which would suggest that the old
reftex-vars.el(c) is loaded.  I'm not sure how this can happen,
especially if /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/reftex is at the front of
`load-path'.  Did you insert the form for altering `load-path' before or
after `(require 'reftex)' into your init file?
