When I compiled this file, MiKTeX identified a couple of missing packages and I let it download them, which may have muddied the waters a little.  I think those may have had to do with updates to bidi and/or fontspec since July.

Your example works for me with 

   This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (TeX Live 2010)

 ***********


To achieve this though, I had to ensure:

  XeTeX binary was more recent than 2008
  fontspec.sty   and  expl3.sty  (+ friends) are very recent
  polyglossia.sty  was similarly recent
  etoolbox.sty   definitely needed to be updated.

On my city computer, I can hit ENTER and move through the error and get a PDF, while upstate I could not do that.  I can also use 'xetex' or omit the driver option; if I did those things upstate, I got the error messages I sent to the list earlier.

You certainly do not want 'hypertex' with XeTeX as the engine.

Compare your package versions with those above.
Hopefully you then be able to get it working on both of your setups.


Hope this helps,
