Xelatex can't find LucidaBrightOT.otf.  You can use

    kpsewhich LucidaBrightOT.otf

to confirm this.

You claim to have installed the LB otf fonts.  Where did you install them?
Presumably you followed one of the options laid out in

https://tug.org/store/lucida/README-opentype/INSTALL-TeX.txt

If not, do so now, following the instructions exactly.   Good luck.
