Note the two dingbat.mf files:

/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/dingbat/dingbat.mf
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/niceframe/dingbat.mf

I suspect the OP's problem is due to some glyphs not present in the
niceframe version, but haven't had time to verify this.  Once again, TL
testing time correlated with hardware problems -- I recall that happening
in past years as well.
