Could you be more specific? Do you mean that, after disabling Lucida.map, then when you try enabling lucida.map you get the same message about a missing map file?

Looking again at your original message, I'm realizing you say that "sudo -H kpsewhich lucida.map" gives no result. That means you've not put it at the right place.

Running "kpsewhich --show-path=map" shows that, in TEXMFLOCAL, the appropriate places are

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/kpsewhich/
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/

On my setup, the places I used are, for typical files,

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/fonts/lucida/lucida.txt
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/latex/lucidabr/lucidabr.pdf

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/afm/bh/lucida/lbc.afm
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/lucida/lucida.map
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/bh/lucida/hlcbot8a.tfm
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/type1/bh/lucida/lbc.pfb
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/vf/bh/lucida/hlcbot8c.vf

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/source/fonts/lucida/inst-hlce.tex

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/lucida/ly1hlce.fd
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/lucidabr/lucidabr.sty 

Places for you may be slightly different, especially for the doc files: I built my own installation based on the files from CTAN and fonts purchased from PCTeX, hence I don't exactly which TDS-compliant distro TUG is providing.

In any case, I'm getting

	$ kpsewhich lucida.map
	/usr/local/texlive/2013/../texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/lucida/lucida.map

Also, the TUG instructions say "unzip the archive as retrieved. It unpacks into subdirectories fonts/, tex/, and so on". I know people who do that on the Mac (ie, unpack a whole zip archive into a pre-existing directory hierarchy), for example Dick Koch  of TeXShop and MacTeX fame does it.

But I must admit I don't know how to do this myself (maybe it requires the command line), so usually I end up just double-clicking the zip archive on the Desktop then moving manually all the subdirectories into place one by one.

Not sure that helps here though.
