Not entirely sure how one finds out, but the first lines in the TeXshop 
console when compiling a file are:
"This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
  \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./cv.tex
LaTeX2e <2003/12/01>"

Running 'latex --verison' from the command prompt gives:

"pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)

Yes, they're there with modified date set to yesterday (when I ran updmap).

If these files exist and are recent,

ok, though as it is a single user machine, I'm guessing this is not 
desperately problematic?

Yup - remembered to do that after the first updmap failed to find 
gentium.map.

If not, you can

ok, cheers. I have removed the user maps and regenerated the system maps.
