Did you try removing ~/.texlive and renaming ~/texmf, if appropriate?
Does printenv | grep TEX show anything interesting?
Does the problem occur if you login as another unprivileged user?

Hmm, I did have the problem when logging in as another unprivileged user, but now the problem appears to have disappeared completely!

I guess I will mark the thread solved, although I'm not sure which solution really did the trick.

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it .

Removing ~/.texlive (or the equivalent e.g. ~/.texlive2011 in my case) often solves issues like this because it clears out all the temporary files. It often solves weird font problems, for example.

Not sure if it didn't work for another unprivileged user, though - that sounds pretty odd since it looked like the system wide stuff was fine.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I agree it's weird that it didn't work for my dummy user, but then, the whole thing seemed weird.

Thanks again for your help .
