The interesting question is rather what 'kpsewhich feta16.pk' 
reports. These bitmap files and several other font related
files are generated on the fly when needed and on most 
distributions of teTeX, they will end up in some general
directory where everybody has write access. Thus, you 
may have to run clean-fonts when switching Lilypond versions, 
also with the new font setup scheme.

There are ways to circumvent these problems but the solution
depends a bit on what your current setup looks like and how
you want it to work.
