[OS X TeX] Font installation problems

I am trying to install the fonts

pilr8r    Caecilia-Roman         "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc  <pilr8a.pfb
pilri8r   Caecilia-Italic        "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc  <pilri8a.pfb
pilb8r    Caecilia-Bold          "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc  <pilb8a.pfb
pilbi8r   Caecilia-BoldItalic    "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc  <pilbi8a.pfb

I am running TeXLive2008 and I used the instructions in
Ch. II of Lehman's Font Installation Guide using

\input fontinst.sty
\needsfontinstversion{1.926}
\recordtransforms{pil-rec.tex}
\latinfamily{pil}{}
\endrecordtransforms
\end

and the instructions on
http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/fonts/fonttutorial-current.html
for distributing the files. I then ran
sudo texhash
and
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map pil.map

I have successfully installed Adobe Type I fonts before, but
now I am stuck. LaTeX successfully produces a dvi file when
I compile

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\newcommand{\titlefont}{\fontfamily{pil}\fontshape{n}
\fontseries{m}\fontsize{16}{21}\selectfont}
\begin{document}

{\titlefont Test}

\end{document}

However when I run pdflatex I get
[snip]
(/Volumes/user/jamie/Library/texmf/tex/latex/caecilia/ot1pil.fd)
[1{/Volumes/user/jamie/.texlive2008/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]
(./caecilia_test.aux)
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag
1+360/600 --dpi 960 pilr8r
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for pilr8r.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
 )
!pdfTeX error: /usr/texbin/pdflatex (file pilr8r): Font
pilr8r at 960 not found

 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
[snip]
When I run dvips I get a different but similar error message.

So it seems that some part of the fonts cannot be found. I
ran

sudo updmap-sys --edit

to check if pil.map was there and at the end of the file
(updmap.cfg?) I found

Map pil.map

So it appears that the map file (located in
~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips) was read. Is there some way
to diagnose the problem?

Thanks for any help.
