Looks like the format creation is now working (so it's no longer
finding an old xetex.pool). So what error are you now getting when you
try to compile a document? If you're still getting "Fatal format file
error", then you must still have an old xelatex.xfmt lurking somewhere
(probably in your personal texmf tree), and that's being found before
the newly-created one.
