I'm as confused as you are. I dream that somebody writes a summary  
describing all the combinations, what they do and when they should  
(or should not) be used:

sudo -H updmap-sys
sudo -H updmap
sudo updmap-sys
sudo updmap
updmap-sys
updmap

What I would think (but I'm not sure that is correct) is "sudo updmap- 
sys" won't work for you. It will read the files from ~/Library/texmf,  
and generate map files in texmf.local. Given you have already updmap- 
generated map files inside ~/Library/texmf, these will take  
precedence over any more recent map file generated by updmap-sys in  
texmf.local, so that your additions won't be seen.

I won't be able to contribute more to this thread, I'll be away until  
the end of next week. Giving a talk on Tuesday, flying there on  
Monday, talk all but ready, and now I'm realizing there is no version  
yet of the Keynote Linkback plugin for Keynote 3. Remember <http://
