Your problem is unrelated to fontspec. Either your font is somehow 
problematic, or XeTeX has problems reading the font's
OpenType tables. Perhaps someone else can be of more help.

BTW, you need to have \setRL at the beginning of the document to typeset 
from right to left. Alternatively, you can also try polyglossia with 
\setmainlanguage{arabic}, or the more specialized package XePersian. 
Both enable you to have itemized lists, tabular environments, etc, from 
right to left.
