This is an inflexible "security" option. Xdvipdfmx is obviously meant  
to be an interactive programme... Something like a "--batch" option is  
needed.

You can circumvent this! First create the XDV file (xetex --no-pdf),  
then run xdvipdfmx -S <file.xdv>.


Xdvipdfmx is based on dvipdfm. See its documentation (texdoc dvipdfm)  
and check which of dvipdfm's specials work with xdvipdfmx.
