Works for me.

What I notice is that when you run it, it's picking up a file 
"test.aux" from a location in your local ~/Library/texmf/ tree, and 
that's what's confusing it. If you use regular pdflatex on a file 
called test.ltx in the same way, does the same thing happen? (pdflatex 
will fail on the font definition for Hoefler; but I'm interested to 
know if it gets that far, or suffers the same problem of finding the 
.aux file.)

Anyway, I believe the problem will go away if you do one of: (a) remove 
that test.aux file, if it's unwanted residue of something else; (b) 
create an empty file test.aux in the current directory before running 
xelatex (e.g., do "touch test.aux"); or (c) rename test.ltx to some 
other name for which no .aux file happens to be lying around within the 
paths latex searches.
