Independently of what Jonathan Kew can say about this, I would  
suggest you to uninstall Linux teTeX and install TeXLive:

http://www.tug.org/texlive/

it comes with XeTeX. If you have a reasonable bandwidth, it's worth  
the time.

If you do so, the installer will give you the option to create  
symlinks in /user/bin for the binaries. Use this option and then you  
don't have to worry about setting the path yourself.

Best,

Axel
