Some things to try:

1. The output from your kpsewhich -expand-var=\$TEXMFDBS is normal---don't mess with TEXMFDBS.
2. Is it possible that you already have an entry in your updmap.cfg to you .../adobe.map? It may be old and giving updmap the impression that you are not changing the file. So, try 

updmap --disable <path_to_adobe.map>

before trying to enable it again.
