Howdy,

Huh? What distribution are you using? How old is your TeX  
distribution? If it's really a recent gwTeX (based on TeX Live) the  
files should be starting at /usr/local/gwTeX/, not /usr/local/teTeX/ 
share/.

Also, in the latest gwTeX you should be placing local additions to  
the system into the texmf.pkgs tree rather than texmf.local.  
Depending upon how you set up your system updamp MAY be the same as  
updmap-sys but using `sudo -H -u root ...` will miss anything in your  
personal tree at ~/Library/texmf/... .

Where, exactly did you put the files?
