This is the culprit! A private version of psfonts.map. Is there any  
reason that it exists? If there is none, then the easiest cure is to  
rename /cygdrive/d/woody/.texlive2009 to /cygdrive/d/ 
woody/.texlive2009-possible-scrap. If XeLaTeX now works and you are  
sure that you don't need /cygdrive/d/woody/.texlive2009 (/cygdrive/d/ 
woody/.texlive2009-possible-scrap now) you can remove the whole tree,  
otherwise just the psfonts.map file.

I tried to find out whether you were using the command line or some  
TeX related application to run the xelatex programme on your sample  
file. This application, or the shell environment visible from the  
command line, could have caused trouble.

It's not necessary to start a XeLaTeX source file like your mini- 
sample.tex file:

	\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
	\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}		%% <<<<=====
	\usepackage[dvipdfm,%			%% <<<<=====
	    bookmarksnumbered,%
	    colorlinks,%
	    linkcolor=blue,%
	    hyperindex,%
	    plainpages=false,%
	    pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref}
	
	\usepackage{fontspec}

You can check whether my writing is correct by re-xelatex'ing your  
changed/updated mini-sample.tex file or by looking up documentation  
on the graphicx/graphics and hyperref packages with texdoc.

If all or at least most of your documents have ISO A4 size you can  
set up with tlmgr (see texdoc tlmgr or man tlmgr) a system-wide  
preference for this paper format and save some bytes in each file.  
The geometry package is an exception: it uses the proprietary default  
paper size from last millennium, from the time TeX was written, i.e.,  
letter. To resolve this issue it's necessary to create a file /usr/ 
local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/geometry/geometry.cfg (don't  
forget to run texhash on /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local!) with this  
single line of contents:

	\ExecuteOptions{a4paper}
