I, too, belatedly noticed the reference to texlive/2011 that should have 
been texlive/2012. This was due to my .profile having the texlive2011 
path. I changed that to the new 2012 path:

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin:$PATH

The apparent error message from "updmap" now gives:

    updmap is using the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
      /Volumes/MacHD/Users/murray/Library/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
      /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
      /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
    /usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin/updmap: mkdir(/Volumes
    /MacHD/Users/murray/Library/texlive/2012/) failed, goodbye:
    Permission denied

And still lucida fonts are given compilation errors (as are mtpro2 fonts).
