The default path for XeTeX and XeLaTeX files has changed not long ago  
(a couple of months, I think). /Library/teTeX/texmf.cnf now contains:

% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex =            .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/ 
{xelatex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex   =            .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/ 
{xetex,plain,generic,}//

which means, for example, that when in XeLaTeX ~/Library/tex/xetex/  
won't be searched.

Could your problem be connected with this?

Another source of problem is that /Library/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/ 
texmf.cnf contains a different setting:

% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex =    .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex   =    .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,plain,generic,}//

I'm not sure which one takes precedence over the other.
