If creating a new user solved the problem, then the problem was specific 
to the old user's config.  Look at the differences between the old and new 
users' .texmf-config/ and .texmf-var/ directories.

One thing that did change from the tetex in FC4 (I think) to the one in 
FC6 is that normal users can run texconfig to set their own options for 
the TeX subsystem.  Doing so creates the above directories and populates 
them.
