Did you rebuild the  kpathsearch  database after adding new files ?
Using a command-line, this requires the  texhash  command,
or  mktexlsr  or  MakeTeXUpdate  or whatever.  (With CMacTeX there is
a menu-option for this; perhaps TeXShop is similar.)

Also, note that  dvips  and  pdftex  may be looking in different places
for .map  files. So you should check whether both

	kpsewhich -progname=dvips wolfram.map
and
	kpsewhich -progname=pdftex wolfram.map

return sensible paths.

If that's OK, then try similar commands for a font file; e.g.

	kpsewhich -progname=pdftex Math1.pfa
	kpsewhich -progname=dvips Math1.pfa

On my setup, the path is:

/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/wolfram/mma/Math1.pfa
                                           ^^^^
Note that there is an extra directory level below  wolfram/
since a font-foundry may make many families of fonts.
For programs that use kpathsea it is very important to have
all the required files at the correct depth within the texmf/ tree.

This sounds like the .map file is being found, but not the fonts themselves.
I'd guess that the directory level is wrong for dvips , but OK for pdftex .

There is probably an inconsistency in the  texmf.cnf file
in the way the search paths are specified for  dvips  and  pdftex .

Hope this helps,
