You should still make 'fc-cache -v -f' (without trailing path) for
make sure that the 'error scanning' error is gone.

'rpm -Va xfs' is bad command. You must use 'rpm -V xorg-x11-xfs' for
to verify Xorg xfs font server package, or 'rpm -Va' to verify all
packages in whole system. And usually there are some 'errors' printed,
even if everything is in order - mostly are reported changed config
files (changed size, timestamp, md5/sha1 checksum etc.)
