I don't think this is the core problem.  The path is immediate as specified
(ie, it doesn't go thru the $PATH hash table in the shell).  The first
question is -- where is xpidl?
	find / -name xpidl -print

If it isn't really located where it is guessed to be, why not?  It is where
its supposed to be, are the perms proper?  etc.

Yeah, for root that is evil; for most mortals, ./ is kinda okay.
