I do not know what you have done but I have no problem  typesetting it with
XeTeX, even I was able to make the lable of my figures in Persian but I have
put all the TiKZ and pgf libraries in my preamble. I actually have attached
the PDF and I have done this on a PC viewed with Adobe Reader 8.1.2. If this
is what you were looking for, I can give you my source code plus the log
file.

I am using XeTeX 0.998.1 (MiKTeX2.7)
 You can get the pdf file from http://parsilatex.org/PGF/test.pdf
