I note that these directions put the MnSymbol files in /usr/local/share, which is, therefore, what I did. The log, though, indicates that it's using MnSymbol.map in /usr/local/texlive/2009.

Howdy,

I don't know if this is what is causing the problem but at first glance it appears that you have run updmap rather than updmap-sys at some point and now you are seeing TeX pick up your private map file in ~/.texlive2009/texmf-var/. Please try to remove the .texlive2009 directory (you may have to use sudo if it is owned by root which is what would happen if you ran `sudo updmap`). This is somewhat of a guess.

Good Luck,
