There's no room to have any engine work successfully for a lookup under kpathsea or wherever the variable texmflocal points to. Nope. not such a thing.

But it's not too shabby either, and the Kpseonly option may not be needed after all

And it'll pick up .otf over .ttf anytime, as long as the path to look 'em up is set in place; Not bad really

\setmainfont[
Path=/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/, 
UprightFeatures={FontIndex=0}, 
ItalicFeatures={FontIndex=1}, 
BoldFeatures={FontIndex=2}, 
%BoldItalicFeatures={FontIndex=3}

and so forth
