Corrected it with a little bit of Perl, and installing works... (But I needed a couple of hours to find this.) Today I was tinkering around with another font installation. I've the impression that the typescript concept doesn't work like it should: (TeX Live 6 with pdfeTeX 1.0 unofficial, latest beta of ConTeXt, WinNT 4) -- Runtime loading of fontmaps seems to have no effect -- pdftex finds fonts only if the map is in pdftex.cfg -- \definetypeface with 6 parameters works, but not the definition via "nested" typescripts -- it ends up with "TeX capacity exceeded" after a long list of messages, that look like a recursion. I'll test it more accurately tomorrow (left my laptop at work). Greetlings from the Hraban! ;-)
