How about giving the full pathname:

otftotfm -a -e 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/base/texnansx.enc 
BrushScriptStd.otf -fkern Brush

The manual page for otftotfm says: "Otftotfm will search for 
encoding[.enc] the same way that dvips would, so you may not need to 
give a full pathname."

Maybe *you* need to for some reason.
