I never quite understood what happens here exactly. The problem is  
that updmap both updates updmap.cfg (first), and then (afterwards)  
recreates the appropriate map files psfonts.map etc. based on it.  
Whatever is inside the map files, in cases updmap detects updmap.cfg  
wouldn't be changed by enabling the requested map file fragment (even  
if the actual map files do no longer correspond to this updmap.cfg),  
it stops proceeding and refuses to go further.

That's why, I think, Gerben uses flags to run updmap several times in  
sequence, isolating each time a specific task, when running updmap  
during installation of the gwTeX i-Package. Something like, in your  
case:

	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --syncwithtrees
	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --disable mtpro2.map
	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --enable Map mtpro2.map
	sudo updmap-sys

I'm not sure that, with the first "--syncwithtrees" step, it would  
even be necessary to run the "--disable" step.

That's the actual location which is obsolete:

/Users/gray/Library/texmf/dvips/mtpro2/mtpro2.map

Map files must go inside ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/ to be seen (and  
the usual location is inside dvips/ within that directory).

Hope this helps,

Bruno
