I think it's reading the .clo file OK but having trouble finding the 
fonts themselves. Try running

sudo fc-cache -frv >/tmp/fonts.log

to [re-]build the font cache. If that doesn't work, it may mean that the 
installer has not added the relevant pointers to the LaTeX font 
directories (if indeed it is meant to: I don't know).

Better, forget XeLaTeX and just use LuaLaTeX which does its own font 
indexing.
