[OS X TeX] Package xparse Error: Support package l3kernel too old..

[Yvon Thoraval]

Hey all,

with the following simple case :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}

\begin{document}
Toto
\end{document}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using XeLaTeX like that :
$ xelatex <my file>

I get the following error(s) :
$xelatex enveloppe-peau-p-208-ecm2.tex

I'm running the latest MacTeX with TeXLive 2011, i should mention that
exactly the same*.tex file gave me a goo result on Ubuntu 12.04 running
TeXLive 2009.
