This seems to indicate that the OTFFONTS entry in your texmf.cnf file 
didn't get set up correctly by the XeTeX installer script. The path for 
the .otf file should normally have a lot more options than that.

I'd expect to find a line like

	OTFFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/otf//

and $TEXMF is defined earlier along the lines of

	TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$VARTEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

(and those variables are in turn defined as various subtrees....)

But apparently your .cnf file(s) aren't set up this way, or the XeTeX 
installer didn't get its OTFFONTS line inserted in an appropriate 
place, or something. It seems that TFMFONTS is getting set 
appropriately, though (compare the "start search" line for the .tfm 
file); so perhaps you can compare the TFMFONTS entry in your .cnf files 
to the OTFFONTS entry, and figure out what's wrong. Does this help you 
track down the problem?
