In a slightly related issue, I found that after I did the most recent updates from texlive (yesterday), xelatex and bibtex segfaulted immediately. "yum reinstall texlive-xetex* texlive-bibtex*" seems to have fixed it though ...
After updating I get this:
$ bibtex bibtex: Symbol `kpse_def_inst' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking bibtex: Need exactly one file argument. Try `bibtex --help' for more information.
Reinstalling texlive-bibtex as you suggested fixed the issue:
$ bibtex bibtex: Need exactly one file argument. Try `bibtex --help' for more information.
