Howdy,

Sorry, I don't have Cambria so I substituted Code2000. Given that it compiles exactly the same way within TeXShop and via Terminal.

By the way the, the default xelatex command called within TeXShop is

xelatex  -file-line-error -synctex=1 "file.tex"

so just running xelatex alone,

xelatex file.tex

should work just fine but not produce a synctex.gz file and not add more information about errors which TeXshop uses to go to errors in the source from the log information.

Good Luck,
