It doesn't work either; I get:

This is XeTeXk, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.7)
  %&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
(./AAT-info.tex [1]
** ERROR ** Cannot proceed without the "native" font: SolaimanLipi- 
Regular (সোলাইমান লিপি Regular)...

Output file removed.

Error 256 (driver return code) generating output;

So I'll need some patience :)

I don't know if it's relevant, but obviously the system can use  
SolaimanLipi and its AAT features. For instance if I type "ki" in a  
text editor and I select Code2000 the "i" is misplaced (after the  
"k"), which is normal since Code2000 has no AAT features, but if I  
select SolaimanLipi the "i" is correctly placed (before the "i").
