I've encountered the same problem from time to time. You can try reloading and talking to erathsmedor in different locations and hope that elseramavin appears in your chat box. Otherwise choose some of the following:
1. Reinstall and play without the patch (copy your saved game and roster.dat in another folder first.) If this gets you past erathsmedor, then you can reinstall the patch again.
2. You can still complete the game without the Mavin sword (must get staff of doom). Go back to the glade at the rear entrance to the boogre caves, go to the west and cast vanish. If you are in the right place, this will teleport you to the trail from Dragonspire to Brimloch Roon. IIRC, the door to where the mavin sword is remains locked. You will miss out on a few other items, but not essential. In fact, if you want, you can come back to Dragonspire when your party is tougher, and do option 3 later.
3. Kill erathsmedor and the door will definitely open up. However, this might be a tough battle depending on how well developed your characters are. Offensive spells don't do much, so rely more on hack and slash with lots of defensive spells (e.g. heroic might on your best fighters)
Good luck - this problem isn't always there - other games I've played are fine..
