This sounds strange.
Though, I cannot reproduce this bug under Linux (ParaView 4.2.0,
openSUSE 13.1 64bit).
However, I noticed that the XDMF file written by ParaView contains the
absolute path to the HDF5 file, which makes the file not really "portable".
Probably this could be solved by using relative paths in the XDMF file?
There is actually an ancient bug-report concerning that topic:

It appears ParaView uses the wrong drive letter when writing or reading
HDF5 files via XDMF.
Steps to reproduce:
Start ParaView (I am using Version 4.2.0 64 Bit for Windows 7 64-bit)
From the menu, select Sources --> Plane
Set X Resolution 10
Set Y Resolution 10
Apply
File --> Save Data
File format Xdmf data file
File name D:\SAMPLE.XMF
Open the XMF file in a text editor.
Bug 1: The file refers to D:/SAMPLE.h5 . However, there is no such
file. The HDF5 file is C:\SAMPLE.H5.
Bug 2: Reset the ParaView session and open the file D:\SAMPLE.XMF.
Apply. The data loads properly, although the XMF file refers to
D:/SAMPLE.h5, which does not exist.
Bug 2.1: Reset the ParaView session. Move the file SAMPLE.H5 to D:\
(The directory referenced in D:\SAMPLE.XMF) In Paraview, select File -->
Open SAMPLE.XMF. Apply.
The program displays the Output Messages window with the following error
message:
