This is what I found:

gettimeofday({1068512382, 361735}, NULL) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x8148000
brk(0x8149000)                          = 0x8149000
brk(0)                                  = 0x8149000
brk(0x814a000)                          = 0x814a000
open("/home/cm/.fluidsynth", O_WRONLY)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("GM543kb.sf2", O_RDONLY)           = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
stat64("/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=8007, 
...}) = 0

The path to fluidsynth is:
/home/cm/fluidsynth-1.0.3 and the soundfont is placed in
/home/cm/fluidsynth-1.0.3 /sf2

I cannot see what is going wrong, maybee You can?
