Personally, I have no idea. But there are a couple of google hits, and
at least two bugs against the dvipdfmx package (with no useful info to
resolve this for you).
There's one more bug report, #405573, which seems to indicate that the
file should be generated by the package ptex-jisfonts. Do you use
far-eastern glyphs (letters)? Does installing the package help you?
