Have you tried "kpsewhich cmr10.tfm" without and with setting the
TEXMF environment variable? If it does make a difference, you probably
use kpsewhich which tries to access a different path layout than you
currently use. Usually it should not be necessary to specify some
texmf search path configurations by environment variables. Or you
would encounter the same problem with LaTeX and Co.

In case TeX/LaTeX/dvips etc. works fine, it might be, that those are
from a different TeX/LaTeX installation than the kpsewhich which PyX
accesses. It even might be that you have several versions of
kpsewhich/libkpathsea around on your system.
