It shouldn't find a match:

$ kpsewhich --show-path=map

will not have the pdftex/config directory, but on my system pdfetex
is able to find the .map files in pdftex/config.  It would be useful
to know what path is used to find these files -- maybe TEXPSHEADERS?

You need to create them using texfont.pl

I edited texfont.pl to set the fontroot path.

Look at context/data/type-tmf.dat.  I wasn't able to get the
batch mode working, so I ran texfont.pl manually (see my earlier
posting for the ksh script), which led me to find a couple bugs
in texfont.pl.  This will configure your system to use the URW
fonts from ghostscrpt.  One note: my teTeX (from Mandrake 7.1)
had older versions of the URW fonts, so I started my script
by copying (or was it linking) to the current ghostscript fonts.

Now that texfont.pl seems to be working via the command line,
I still can't run the batch file.  I get:

processing aborted : unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/public/antp

and so on for each font collection.  I tried running texfont
from different directories and got the same result.
