texmf-var shouldn't be involved here, it's not a place the user is supposed to interact directly with. Says texmf.cnf:

	% TEXMFSYSVAR, where *-sys store cached runtime data.
	TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-var

Similarly, the source/fonts folder is here for completeness but it's not used at all during the normal operation of the fonts: the files there are involved only in the original creation of the tfm, vf and fd files by fontinst, they're never used afterwards.

You may have to run in succession:

	sudo -H updmap-sys --disable lucida.map
	sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map

so that updmap-sys notices that, even if updmap.cfg hasn't changed, you still want to rebuild the global map files nonetheless.

That can't work. As discussed in the previous thread on this list, mixing a system-wide setup in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local with a user-specific setup in ~/Library/{texmf,texlive} is calling for trouble.

In addition, the -H option to sudo is precisely here to prevent updmap-sys from seeing ~/Library: -H changes the user to root, hence also ~ to /var/root.

It's difficult to diagnose exactly what's happening without knowing more. Could you run say

	ls -R /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local > ~/Desktop/texmflocallist.txt

and attach to your answer the file it will create on your Desktop. Similarly, could you run

	kpsewhich --all lucida.map
	kpsewhich --all pdftex.map

and post the results.
