Sounds like you may have a different, incompatible fontconfig
installed somewhere, and it's in your PATH before the TeX Live one.
Or could simply it be that it's confused by using a path with spaces?
I think that's a bad idea, in general, as not all the tools in TL are
necessarily bulletproof about properly quoting pathnames. (IMO, the TL
Windows folk should reconsider the default installation directory; the
old choice of C:\TeXLive\ was a much safer choice.)
